Hi All,

I am running one simple delete statement in one table with rownum<10000 but it is taking nearly 10 to 15 mins.Table doesn't have any child table rows and triggers.

Please advice how to check that.

Thanks

Since NOBODY can optimize SQL just by looking at it, we need a few more details.
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/433888/136107/#msg_433888
Please refer to URL above & be sure to provide the details requested:
1) DDL for all tables & indexes
2) EXPLAIN PLAN
3) output from SQL_TRACE & tkprof

No index. only primary key index and child table does not any rows.simple condition but it is taking nearly more time.

statement like

delete from <table> where rownum<10000;

only primary key index


Which is an index.

Bad IO accesses, too much commit... many reasons can apply, run Statspack/AWR report, check statistics of the session, check its wait events, activate a trace on it...

No statements are running except delete statement. I am checking the active select statements by using the following query.

select S.USERNAME, s.sid, s.osuser, t.sql_id, sql_text
from v$sqltext_with_newlines t,V$SESSION s
where t.address =s.sql_address
and t.hash_value = s.sql_hash_value
and s.status = 'ACTIVE'
and s.username <> 'SYSTEM'
order by s.sid,t.piece;




I am getting only one delete statement.

>delete from <table> where rownum<10000;

why not just TRUNCATE <TABLE>?

User doesn't have privileges of truncate. Granted the privileges like select,insert,delete,update only.

I will provide the awr report soon.

If the privilege is needed then it should be granted.

The simple fact is, DELETE can take a long time. If there are no other conflicting SQL running while you are doing this delete than you may just be seeing the limitations of your hardware and software.

Still, given that on today's hardware, Oracle can load a million rows/minute without breaking a sweat or using any advanced features, it seems odd that it would take 15 minutes to delete 10K rows. It may pay to do some research. Try the following:
make a copy of the table without indexes and try deleting
make a copy of the table with indexes and try deleting
compare these to your current timings

choose a column value that maps to about 10,000 rows and then repeat the above steps using the column=value instead of rownum<=10000.

turn off logging and repeat all the above


These tests will give you something to think about.

Here are some Ideas that I have implemented to reduce delete times.
1) Delete as many indexes as possible from the table you are deleting from.
2) Disable all triggers from this table.
3) Disable foreign keys from this table to other tables.
3) Do the deletes on one RAC node to reduce contention.
4) Look at your event waits to make sure you are not locking on something else like "latch free" or "log buffer".
I have had corrupt indexes show up as "Controlfile sequential read" and corrupt undo segments slow deletes. Unless you do this steps you cannot know for sure what is slowing the system up.
You can just rebuild the indexes on this table to insure that they are not corrupt. I had this problem more in 10g than in 11g.

5) In 11g Turn result cache off on the table you are deleting from. "alter table scott.emp result_cache (mode manual);"
6) Cache the table and its indexes into the keep buffer pool to reduce physical reads.
7) Look at what is hogging memory because these other objects will cause the table to get LRU and cause deletes to lock more.

8) See if any other sessions are doing writes. I look at the active undo segments with the following sql. If no segments are active, then no other session is doing inserts or updates or deletes.
ECSCDAP1P > @r

  SID SERIAL# USERNAME         UndoBLKS TERMINAL        OSUSER   START_TIME        NAME       STATUS

ECSCDAP1P > list
select s.sid,s.serial#,username,t.used_ublk "UndoBLKS", terminal, osuser,
       t.start_time, r.name,
       decode(t.space, 'YES', 'SPACE TX',
          decode(t.recursive, 'YES', 'RECURSIVE TX',
             decode(t.noundo, 'YES', 'NO UNDO TX', t.status)
       )) status
from sys.v_$transaction t, sys.v_$rollname r, sys.v_$session s
where t.xidusn = r.usn
  and t.ses_addr = s.saddr;

Many times you can purge a table that is hogging memory or better index it to relieve the impact on your system and more important tables.
