Performance of Oracle on Windows 7

Hello

Recently, I got an interesting question from a friend. In his office, he got some PC with Core i7 as processor and 6 GB memory. But these PC motherboards do support Windows XP or 7, not Windows Server 2003.

If it installs Oracle 11 g on a Windows 7, 64-bit in a PC with these physical characteristics, number of concurrent connections can support the database? Identical to a Windows Server with less hardware power?

For example, IIS on a Windows XP can support 10 simultaneous connections.

I suggested to him that it might be better to install a Windows Server 2003 or 2008 on these PC, even if by default, these motherboards do not accept that o/s (you can ignore some drivers and install this server o/s anyway). But he replied me that on the PC, he wouldn't trust a Windows Server, since their motherboards where not designed for it.

What do you think?

Oracle Butterfly not client connections. I once, a few years ago, set up a very old desktop Dell with Oracle 9i (think it was) to MTS and developers created on a 1000 + Java connections to it.

The number of connections that can handle an Oracle server, depends entirely on the amount of server resources and also on the connection type (shared or dedicated). Oracle Butterfly not artificially the number of connections (last he did that me with Personal Oracle 7 I remember, where it was due to licensing issues).

Recent versions of Oracle XE, SE and EE - not such a limitation to my knowledge.

  • Oracle on Linux VS Oracle under Windows

    Hello

    I've been using oracle on 64-bit windows 8 for recent years.

    Is there a big difference in performance between Oracle on Oracle VS Linux on Windows?

    Can I migrate to Linux and start learning early on my curve?

    Hello

    Most people will tell you that Linux is the best OS for the execution of Oracle database. In General, Windows has a bad reputation when it comes to Oracle databases running.

    I worked with both platforms and from my point of view, Windows is as good as Linux in terms of performance.

    Oracle supports all Windows and there is a lot of customers Oracle that works with Windows. What is more, Linux requires the DBA to have system administration skills more than Windows. Windows is simpler and easier to manage and deploy in terms of 'Skills' If you team COMPUTER lacks these skills, it will be problematic to install more advanced as RAC environments.

    Google will show you that this question is common and you can find more information in the following links:

  • Benchmark of Performance space Oracle to ESRI vs Oracle EE vanila

    Do we not have any indicators to improve performance, compare performance with Oracle EE database as the back-end, vs Oracle Spatial with ESRI ArcGIS of ESRI (especially during the edition of map).

    Just to add my $0.02, what has already been said...

    We use the SDO_GEOMETRY and the ST_GEOMETRY of ESRI here. Hands down, SDO_GEOMETRY is faster - returned from the database. No contest.

    HOWEVER - this is not what the user. What they perceive as database performance, it's the speed at which Arc attracts some data on their screen. That's where the problem lies. We found in many cases, their ST_GEOMETRY format (like their old format BINARY SDE) restores at least an order of magnitude or more quickly, even if it takes more time for the database to extract the data and send it back.

    Frankly, their SDO_GEOMETRY rendering support was always very bad, and it still shows. Screens of the application of GIS Java web start developed 10 years ago by using the old Java 2D makes shots even away from the CRA API anything in terms of rendering performance, even in 4 K. I'm talking of second vs 58 seconds for an index of comparison I did with 10.3. Sharp zooms smooth zoom blur clumsy vs. In this case, the database returns the data in less than 1/10 of a second. The rest of the time was stack all - and in the case of our application, which involves a medium level and client VS the arcmap client/server model. AND - which is also including time to math for POI lat - lon on the fly that extends to every latitude square grids.

    Again - the perception is reality to end users. In our experience, Oracle is faster with SDO_GEOMETRY. But their application code is almost always much faster with their native format - and this is the real bottleneck here.

  • optimization of the performance of Oracle 9

    Hello

    Oracle 10g has several new features for performance, such as dbms_xplan.display_cursor, then a book 10 g AWR/ASH etc is usually better in your case. However, some tuning books are forever for example (Milsap and Holt) and it does not really matter tht they speak of same 8i or 9i.

  • performance on oracle db - session

    Hi experts,
    I am a newbie of oracle db.
    I need to test the performance on oracle db.
    I use oracle 10g Enterprise to test.

    I use applications to fire 15 different sqls in db almost at the same time.

    the sqls are almost the same. only the period filter where clause are different.

    I saw that on the EM (Business Manager).

    There are only 10 sessions.

    But I'm on fire 15 sqls.

    the db can only manage 10 sessions at the same time?

    can it be configured to manage multiple sessions at the same time?

    There are 2 CPUs in the database.

    If there is 4 processors in the comic book, it can handle more sessions?

    Or she calculates faster?

    Here is the captured table of enterprise manager.
    http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/3520/TopAct.PNG

    I don't use a lot of Enterprise Manager (the company I get too stopped years ago cost licensing reasons). Also, I remember seeing less precise data the old based on Java Enterprise Manager - so I prefer rather to look directly the views v$ performance instead.

    When there are 15 sqls to run, I found that it runs 10 sqls first (I guess that 1 sql occupies 1 session)

    A SQL looks like a source code of the program. Oracle receives it, analysis and it compiles and creates a '+' binary running program + for him - a bit like a C compiler will compile C code. This program compiled in Oracle is called a cursor. It is stored in the shared pool. This "compilation" is called a difficult analysis.

    If another session sends the same source code SQL to Oracle, it does not compile a new cursor for this - he sees that there's already a compiled copy (cursor) for this SQL source and re - use this slider. It's called a soft analysis.

    If all 15 SQLs are the same, so there will be a single slider in the shared pool. One of these 15 sessions will show a difficult analysis. The other 14 sessions will show a fresh analysis.

    One of the fundamentals for the scalability and performance of Oracle is to use this feature of Oracle properly. Have Oracle hard analysis a SQL once and then everything just use and reuse this slider again. The same session. Other sessions. (This also requires correctly using bind variable with SQL)

    and the first 10 sqls were executed, it runs the next 5 sqls.

    To be honest - I wouldn't bother with Enterprise Manager in this case. It is much simpler and easier to just put a couple of SQL * scripts together.

    in fact, I just need to monitor performance on db.

    Why? For what reason? What metrics are to be considered? And if a metric like "+ buffer Cache Hit Ratio +", explains 90%, what does that mean? How do you determine that it is good or bad?

    You should know what requirements and commercial reasons are for this "performance monitoring" - because if you don't know what the needs/problems/issues are detailed... How the hell can correctly solve you these? A solution is only as good as the definition of the problem.

    And this applies to monitoring the performance too.

    How handles when there are so many simultaneous tasks

    15 sessions are few concurrent tasks.

    With regard to how Oracle handles - it depends on how connect these sessions (the process template can be shared or dedicated server), and how these processes?

    To understand the basics behind all of this, you must read the guide to the Concepts of Oracle® database .

  • Oracle APEX Performance on Oracle Express Edition

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone can help me, I'm looking to change my environment hosted on a virtual server. The server running VMWARE Windows 2012 R2 and Oracle Express Edition with the latest version of the APEX.

    The server would be:

    3Gig Ram

    25Gig storage

    1 virtual processor

    Someone at - he no idea how it would perform? I currently have applications with up to 200 people using the system at a point in time. Performance is critical obviusly and I don't want this virtual solution if I'll take a drop in performance.

    Just to clarify, the only reason why I'm looking to spend are all my clients are located in South Africa and I am currently hosted in the United Kingdom. The shift would be seriously reduced if I moved to accommodation in South Africa.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi André,.

    I did a few tests of performance and scalability with APEX on XE with JMeter (https://jmeter.apache.org/)

    The limitation of the XE is mainly database size (I think only 11 GB for user data) and max 1 GB for the database altogether instance.

    When you use the EPG of APEX I started to run into trouble after 20 + sessions at the same time.

    When you use the earpiece of the APEX, I was able to push a tot of factor 2 3...

    After that XE has usually crashed due to problems of memory.

    Everything depends on the application and how active users are their session but more importantly could give you a good indication that XE isn't the way to go for 200 users working at the same time.

    Maybe check jmeter (very easy) with your application and the config to see when it crashes. SE1 could also be a cheap alternative.
