• How to find why the plan amended

  We are using Oracle 11.2.0.3. In our production system, one of the SQL started using different plan_hash_value afternoon today. This increase has elapsed time to 1 + minutes rather than the second. There was no change of system at the time. After rinsing shared_pool, the query takes again an optimal plan.

  V $ sql_shared_cursor, I have found no difference between the two cursor:

  Right when the plan has been slow:

  child cursor 0 during the performance was slow:

  < ChildNode > < ChildNumber > 0 < / ChildNumber > < ID > 34 < /ID > < reason > Rolling Invalidate window Exceeded (3) < / reason > < size > 2 x 4 < / size > < invalidation_window > 1452265834 < / invalidation_window > < ksugctm > 1452265953 < / ksugctm > < / ChildNode > < ChildNode > < ChildNumber > 0 < / ChildNumber > < ID > 34 < /ID > < reason > Rolling Invalidate window Exceeded) (3) < / reason > < size > 2 x 4 < / size > < invalidation_window > 1451915636 < / invalidation_window > < ksugctm > 1451915677 < / ksugctm > < / ChildNode > < ChildNode > < ChildNumber > 0 < / ChildNumber > < ID > 34 < /ID > < reason > Rolling Invalidate window Exceeded (2) < / reason > < size > 0 x 0 < / size > < details > already_processed < / details > < / ChildNode >

  v$ sql_shared_cursor. Reason when the plan was good:

  < ChildNode > < ChildNumber > 1 < / ChildNumber > < ID > 34 < /ID > < reason > Rolling Invalidate window Exceeded (3) < / reason > < size > 2 x 4 < / size > < invalidation_window > 1452529290 < / invalidation_window > < ksugctm > 1452529356 < / ksugctm > < / ChildNode > < ChildNode > < ChildNumber > 1 < / ChildNumber > < ID > 34 < /ID > < reason > Rolling Invalidate window Exceeded) (3) < / reason > < size > 2 x 4 < / size > < invalidation_window > 1451923704 < / invalidation_window > < ksugctm > 1451923763 < / ksugctm > < / ChildNode >

  Y at - it other reviews or newspapers that I can check to find out why an expensive plan chose?

  Is there an easy way that I can reproduce the expensive plan in lower environment.

  Thank you.

  This isn't a detail, I looked closely (yet), but it seems to me that if the information contained in the reason said you that the cursor was invalidated and re-optimized because someone (or automatic labor) had collected stats with the option "disable-online auto" and the window for rolling invalidation had finally expired. This suggests that (a) you is perhaps no chance with the particular game of the variable bind used immediately after the cursor has been invalidated or (b) your collection of statistics came to use a (particularly relevant for histograms) unlucky sample and your plans could change semi randomly each time you collect statistics.

  If it's (b) then rinse the shared pool and forcing re-optimizing would probably give you the wrong plan again.

  If it is (a) then rinse the shared pool (after throwing a bind variable) will allow you to link different test values and see if you get different plans.

  Step 1: get some peeked binds to both good and bad

  Solution temporary possible (if it's unlucky stats) - you could draw the previous set of stats history back to whatever the table in the query have their stats together very recently.  (Invalidation_window entry is PROBABLY the time-out period of cancellation in seconds since January 1, 1970 GMT; this, I think, will be 5 hours after the time of collecting stats (local) or possibly time to collecting statistics - I guess that 5 hours, but maybe it's that the invalidation of rolling decided to strike these sliders only one or two minutes after collection - but I don't know exactly what these numbers and why there are) differences of days between the two sliders).

• The computer crashes; slow to start; Not relevant

  It's all thanks to IT.

  Hello

  You will have to provide much more information to help. Some questions are:

  (1) what you were doing when the computer crashed? What programs have been opened? Running?

  (2) you online were at the time? Had recently downloaded anything? You have applications antivirus and anti-malware on your computer? Have you run analyses with these programs? If so, what was done and what show?

  (3) what do you mean exactly by "inadmissible"? You can do something, or is it just sit there doing nothing? When you say 'slow start', which is just an impression or you timed? If you have timed the start, what are the gaps of time?

  (4) depth OS and little do you have? How much RAM do you have? What and how many programs you load at startup?

  This is the starting point to determine what might happen. There may be more questions that need to ask, but until you have answered these questions, there is little I can do to help you.

• Is the another great category why my computer is slow?

  I get a lot of beach and the General slow balls spinning this month.

  One thing I checked last week my storage status. 237 free GB to 999 GB and 618 for which is the category "other"!  I hate this wave "other" category. Here is a screenshot.

  

  You can see that I have barely keep anything on my internal drive. I don't have a lot of applications. The ones I use regularly is Mail, Safari, Lightroom and Photoshop.

  A few years ago I learned about a procedure in disk utility to completely erase the disk space, but when I went to do, I couldn't find more, as El Capitan got rid of him. Is there something similar I can do?

  Is this large amount of yellow on the bar as alarming as it looks and probably why my computer is slow?

  Thank you!

  p.s. in another thread, I will post about a glitch that happens with my trash. Maybe it's related.

  The function of Secure Erase of Trash was removed to El Capitan. One of the reasons was that it worked as expected. The other is that it reduces the life expectancy of the SSD.

  I would suggest your download and install OmniDiskSweeper. When you rum ODS, it will tell you the names of the files and folders that use the most space. You can then decide for yourself or ask us what can be detected or moved.

  The first step in the process must be a full backup of everything.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Why the update did slow my MacBook pro down so

  Why the update did slow my MacBook pro down so much? What could be in the last update of El Capitan to slow my Mid 2010 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro 2.66 down so much?   He has never run it slow before! Everything takes more time in all areas. Could I have made a mistake during the download and installation?  If so is it possible to force a re - install the latest update?

  I don't know if I can restore back after an update of this size. Everyone has similar problems or have thoughts on what could be wrong? I know it's far from being a State of the art Macbook Pro. But it was working fine before the update.

  Any thoughts would be really appreciated. I can't afford to buy anything newer right now.

  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  Hi Phil.Ganchev,
   
  Using a laptop or a desktop computer?
   
  The reason for this question is, if you have a plugged AC adapter you must set power accordingly as opposed to laptop settings battery operated.
   
  I suggest you head over to the power settings and create your own power management.
   
  a. power by clicking on the Start button, open the Options click on the Control Panel, clicking system and security, and then clicking Power Options.
  
  (b) according to the plan you want to change, click on change plan settings.
  
  c. on the parameters of change in the plan page, choose "Put the computer to sleep" that you want to use when your computer is running on battery (if applicable) and when it is plugged.
  (Change in 5 minutes for the batteries and sector)

  Reformatting a hard drive should be considered a last resort to solve a problem with a computer system. The hard drive can be reformatted and reinstalled the operating system, using the system PC Suite hard disk recovery. Reformatting the hard drive will overwrite all data on the disk. To preserve the data, back up the data of the user as; letters, leaves of calculation, graphics and emails to an external storage device before you reformat the disk. If the PC does not work in the Windows operating system, see reformatting since the recovery disks .

  Do the following to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system.

  1. Connect the PC to the power adapter.
  2. Close all programs.
  3. Click Start , click principally made programs , select System Restore and click on the PC recovery .
  4. When the recovery options are offered, select the option to perform the Recovery of PC and click Next .
  5. The PC will restart.
  6. When the recovery of the PC of welcome message, click OK to continue.
  7. In the system recovery Panel, select System Recovery . By default, the system will perform a complete reformat and will destroy all user data.
  8. Restart the PC when prompted.

  As alternative method for the steps above, click Advanced Options , select the destructive recovery option and click Next to begin the reformatting process.

  The PC is in original factory State and all data in the system, such as the place and the date must be reconfigured.

  NOTE: any software "trial offer" has been included in the original factory image, it will be reinstalled, but it won't work (the test period will have expired).  If so any trial software is a security antivirus software or others, before connect you to the Internet, you must uninstall (using an uninstall tool provided by the manufacturer if available antivirus software) and then install your own anti-virus software.  So, you should download the uninstallers necessary and installers (or buy the software on CD) using another machine before starting this project.
