One of the big use cases for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) formerly known as Baremetal Cloud is noSQL and newSQL. Oracle states what big advantage on storage layer would be PCIe based NVMe SSD with super low latency. And elimination of virtualization layer would let it shine at full. While MemSQL row store is in-memory, […]

If you have situation when partition elimination/pruning does not work, here are couple effective tricks to fix it. 1. If query derives partition key from sub-query, for example (query where sale_date is a partition key): Replace sub-query with DETERMINISTIC function: In most cases it should not be differences between sub-query and function. But there are […]

Its Unix 101 statement, but I have heard it wrong so many time, so decided to put a blog for it. If in OLTP environment, per ‘top’ %wa (IOWAIT) is major contributor for CPU busy, adding CPU would not help. There is no need for more CPU. Period. ************** %wa IS PERCENTAGE WHAT COUNT TO […]
High Index Clustering factor is popular problem in SQL world.The most known solution for it – rebuild table ordering by columns what are in the index.But in real world, with table size growing exponentially its not always practical or possible to do it. Here is one way to avoid index clustering problem by SQL optimization.. […]
