can you suggest me some ways to do performance tuning in this.
i have to delete lakh of records in some 10 min.
now only 200 records is taking 1 min to delete.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE purge_sample
AS
       count_x  NUMBER  := 0;
       total  NUMBER  := 0;
       

      CURSOR del_record_cur IS 
          SELECT request_id FROM RQ_ADVICES_IN_PROGRESS_DUP 
         WHERE REQUEST_CREATION_TIME<SYSDATE-7 AND STATUS IN('S') 
         AND REQUEST_ID IN(SELECT REQUEST_ID FROM RQ_SERVICE_ADVICE_DETAILS_DUP)
         AND REQUEST_ID IN(SELECT REQUEST_ID FROM RQ_ACCOUNT_ADVICE_DETAILS_DUP)
         AND ROWNUM<200;
         
         delrow del_record_cur%ROWTYPE;

     BEGIN
     
            
       FOR delrow IN del_record_cur LOOP
       
      
       
         DELETE /*+ parallel(req,8)*/ FROM RQ_ADVICES_IN_PROGRESS_DUP req
           WHERE REQUEST_ID = delrow.REQUEST_ID;

         total := total + 1;
         count_x := count_x + 1;

         IF (count_x >= 100) THEN
           COMMIT;
            
           count_x := 0;
         END IF;

       END LOOP;
       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Deleted ' || total || ' records from RQ_ADVICES_IN_PROGRESS_DUP ');
       COMMIT;
       
     END;

If you'd post this in Performances forum, you'd see How to Identify Performance Problem and Bottleneck
In addition, OraFAQ Forum Guide also gives what are the information you have to give to get help on performances question.

Purging row by row for 200 rows is not really smart.
Why not just "delete from where ..."?

Using a hint parallel degree 8 to delete ONE row is completly stupid.

Committing every 100 rows is also silly.

In the end, I think this procedure wraps up all what you must NOT do. Thanks for that.

Regards
Michel

To continue on with Michel's line of reasoning:

piscean_n, why did you write this as a pl/sql procedure rather than just one simple delete statement?

Do yourself a favor, and take the time to write a single delete statement that deletes all the rows you want deleted, then time it. Once you do this, you will forever see the reasoning behind why ROW BY ROW = SLOW BY SLOW (I didn't invent the phrase, Tom Kyte did).

This may actually be a very good thing for you. Once you figure out for yourself the value of SQL only solutions, you will in the future spend more time trying to create them, before giving in to the urge to write some kind of LOOPING code.

Once you have written, timed, and tested your SQL only delete version of this, please, post your results; others will benefit. Your PL/SQL solution stacked up against its simple SQL conterpart, coupled with the fact that you created both, will make an excellent learning aid for others. A chance for you to contribute to the community.

Good luck, Kevin.

No actually we want to delete in chunks like first 1000 records will be deleted then another 1000 like so on.
so for this i think i have to use pl/sql.

You only think this way because you don't realize the consequences for making such a poorly performing choice.

I tried with simple query to delete still it is taking so much time for deletion of only 2000 records among 40,000 records.


DELETE FROM RQ_ADVICES_IN_PROGRESS_DUP WHERE REQUEST_CREATION_TIME<SYSDATE-7 AND STATUS IN('S') 
         AND REQUEST_ID IN(SELECT REQUEST_ID FROM RQ_SERVICE_ADVICE_DETAILS_DUP)
         AND REQUEST_ID IN(SELECT REQUEST_ID FROM RQ_ACCOUNT_ADVICE_DETAILS_DUP)
         AND ROWNUM<2000;

>AND STATUS IN('S')
above make little sense to have an IN list of one item

I strongly suspect that the slowness is on the SELECT side (deciding which rows to delete) & not from actual DELETE itself.

What does SQL_TRACE & TKPROF show for

SELECT * FROM RQ_ADVICES_IN_PROGRESS_DUP WHERE REQUEST_CREATION_TIME<SYSDATE-7 AND STATUS IN('S')
AND REQUEST_ID IN(SELECT REQUEST_ID FROM RQ_SERVICE_ADVICE_DETAILS_DUP)
AND REQUEST_ID IN(SELECT REQUEST_ID FROM RQ_ACCOUNT_ADVICE_DETAILS_DUP)
AND ROWNUM<2000;

Possibly results in cartesian product between RQ_ACCOUNT_ADVICE_DETAILS_DUP & RQ_SERVICE_ADVICE_DETAILS_DUP

how to see sql_trace and tkprof.
can you tell me the site to download pl/sql developer for 10g.

REQUEST_ID IN(
SELECT REQUEST_ID FROM RQ_SERVICE_ADVICE_DETAILS_DUP
intersect
SELECT REQUEST_ID FROM RQ_ACCOUNT_ADVICE_DETAILS_DUP)
is surely a better way.
Are the columns indexed?
Why delete per chunk and not in a whole?
...
You chose the wrong way since the beginning.
I bet there are some missing foreign keys.

Do you have foreign keys pointing back to the table you are deleting from? If so, are these foreign keys supported by an index? If not, then you must do a full table scan of each child table before the row can be deleted. Consider this:

create table parent_table
(
 parent_table_id number not null
,somedata varchar2(4000)
)
/

alter table parent_table add primary key (parent_table_id)
/

create table child_table
(
 child_table_id number not null
,parent_table_id number not null
,somedata varchar2(4000)
)
/

alter table child_table add primary key (child_table_id)
/
alter table child_table add foreign key (parent_table_id) references parent_table
/


insert into parent_table values (1,'abc');
insert into parent_table values (2,'xyz');

insert into child_table values (101,2,'pdq');
--
-- insert 10 million more rows into child_table
--

commit
/

delete
from parent_table
where parent_table_id = 1
/


What happens when you delete the above row? One thing that happens is that Oracle must look at CHILD_TABLE to see if there are any children tied to the row in PARENT_TABLE you are trying to delete. How will Oracle do this? There is no index on the foreign key column in CHILD_TABLE. I guess that means Oracle must do a full table scan on CHILD_TABLE. Hmm... 10 million rows will be scanned for each row deleted from PARENT_TABLE.

But if you have an index on CHILD_TABLE.PARENT_TABLE_ID, then no FTS, just a simple index lookup.

I am not saying this is your problem, but I have seen this before. It is one of the reasons why a delete can take a long time even if you are deleting only a few rows. Check this out and let us know what you find.

Good luck, Kevin

Columns are indexed in both parent and child table.

But in my case both parent ancd child table is nested tables.

can performance be an issue with nested tables.

in that case how i should delete.
SELECT request_id FROM REQUESTS_DUP 
         WHERE STATUS in('C') AND MONTHS_BETWEEN(SYSDATE,REQUEST_DATE)>6 
         AND (REQUEST_SOURCE_ID in(2,4)) AND (REQUEST_TYPE_ID in('L','S'));


In this the table requests_dup has 2 columns as nested type.
and it has 6 other child tables referring request_id and all these child tables have 2 columns as nested type.

you should do some reading about nested tables. If I recall correctly, there is a "hidden column" added to each nested table that Oracle uses as a foreign key column to join nested tables back to parent tables. Althought this column is "hidden" I use the term loosely as documentation clear says that you can and possibly should consider creating an index on this column.

Do some reading on nested tables. Maybe I am confusing it with something else (I try to stay away from creating nested tables as part of a table design (although I relish using Oracle Objects and Collections in code)). There is no substitute for original thinking and original research. So maybe this has something to do with what you need.

It is quite possible I could be misleading you here as my memory fails me from time to time. So DO SOME READING!, and get back to use with what you find out. A simple google search on Oracle Nested Tables should do the trick.

Good luck, Kevin
