Partitioning Benefits: Facts
• Manageability
– Classic “Divide & Conquer” technique
– More granular storage allocation options
– Keeps otherwise time consumptive options viable
• Availability
– More granular online/offline options
– More granular rebuild/reorganization options
– More granular object level backup/restore options
• Capacity Management
– Enables a “Tiered Storage Architecture” approach
– More granular storage cost management decision points
• Performance
– Partition Pruning
– Partition-Wise Joins

Why to
Partition
• Don’t over-sell/over-expect the performance aspect
• Need to experiment for best approach for a database
• Better to take longer at the start to get right, because
very often it’s far too expensive to change afterwards
• Examples demonstrate very positive performance,
but better to be conservative and error on the side of
caution – then be very pleasantly surprised…
5
Partition Pruning (Restriction Based)
• From Docs: In partition pruning, the optimizer analyzes FROM and
WHERE clauses in SQL statements to eliminate unneeded partitions
when building the partition access list. This enables Oracle Database to
perform operations only on those partitions that are relevant ...
• “Divide and Conquer” for performance
– Sometimes can yield order of magnitude improvement
– But once again, best not to oversell and/or over-expect
• Some Potential Issues to be aware of:
– SQL*Plus Auto-Trace can sometimes miss partition pruning
– “Old Style” Explain Plans via simple SELECT has issues too
– Best to always use DBMS_XPLAN and/or SQL_TRACE
Note: Trace file analysis much easier these days – SQL Developer +
free Hotsos plug-in, metalink trace analysis scripts, Quest Toad DBA
6
Partition-Wise Join (Multi-Object Based)
• From Docs: Partition-wise joins reduce query response time by
minimizing the amount of data exchanged among parallel execution
servers when joins execute in parallel. This significantly reduces
response time & improves the use of both CPU & memory resources.
• Different Flavors:
–
–
–
–
–
Full – Single to Single
Full – Composite to Single
Full – Composite to Composite
Partial – Single
Partial – Composite
All of these
affect the
explain plan
• Indexing Strategy Counts
– Local Prefixed/Non-Prefixed
– Global
7
Picture Worth 1000 Words (from Docs)
Simple Mantra: Subdivide the work into equally paired
chunks, then perform all that work using many parallel
processes
Make sure not to over-allocate
CPU’s – remember there will
also be concurrent workload

Partitioning History (from Oracle 11G training+)
Oracle 5
Oracle 7
Before Tablespaces – we had partitions 
Partition Views – really more of a cheat 

Partitioning Options – Part 1
IOT’s can be partitioned as
well in later versions of Oracle,
so the basic choices are even
more complex than this…
10
Partitioning Options – Part 2

TPC-H Benchmark
• Industry Standard “Data Warehouse” Benchmark
• URL: www.tpc.org/tpch
• Spec: http://tpc.org/tpch/spec/tpch2.7.0.pdf
• 8 Tables
• 22 Queries (answer complex business questions)
• Database scaling:
– Factor = 1, 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000, 3000, 10000, 30000, 100000
– Size GB = 1, 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000, 3000, 10000, 30000, 100000

Method of Attack
• Since many data warehouses are utilized for data
mining, we can’t always know every possible query
likely to run – thus aggregate measure for success
• Thus we’ll compare the benchmark’s weighted
performance scores for the TPC-H using various
partitioning schemes (all within spec of course…)
• Goal will be to find the best overall partitioning …
• Then we’ll examine some specific explain plans …
25
10G Sample Test cases
•
10G Simple Approach (Just Huge Tables)
– Range: ORDER (order date)
– Hash: LINEITEM (order key)
•
10G Basic Approach (Single Level Partitions)
– Range: ORDER (order date)
– Hash: LINEITEM (order key)
– List: CUSTOMER (nation key)
– Hash: PART, SUPPLIER and PARTSUPP (part & supp keys)
•
10G Complex Approach (Composite Partitions)
– Range-Hash: ORDER (order date & cust key)
– Multi-Hash: LINEITEM (part, supp & order keys)
– List: CUSTOMER (nation key)
– Hash: PART, SUPPLIER and PARTSUPP (part & supp keys)
26
11G Sample Test cases
•
11G Simple Approach (+Interval)
– Interval-Hash: ORDER (order date & cust key)
– Multi-Hash: LINEITEM (part, supp & order keys)
– List: CUSTOMER (nation key)
– Hash: PART, SUPPLIER and PARTSUPP (part & supp keys)
•
11G Basic Approach (+Virtual)
– Interval-Hash: ORDER (virtualized order date & cust key)
– Multi-Hash: LINEITEM (part, supp & order keys)
– List: CUSTOMER (nation key)
– Hash: PART, SUPPLIER and PARTSUPP (part & supp keys)
•
11G Complex Approach (+REF)
– Interval-Hash: ORDER (virtualized order date & cust key)
– REF: LINEITEM (order key)
– List: CUSTOMER (nation key)
– Hash: PART, SUPPLIER and PARTSUPP (part & supp keys)
27
Is that It?
• No – just six very obvious high-level scenarios
• Your selections and actual mileage will vary
• Experimentation usually yields the best results
• Always trust “empirical results” over conjecture
• So improved response-time beats better explain plan
• Remember, DW’s usually have unpredictable queries
• So don’t tune for just a few queries, look for the best
overall and/or more generic performance solution 

Why such seemingly Opposite Results ???
•Run times and explain plans apply to single measurable operation
•Even aggregate & averaged run times don’t relate the entire truth!
•Need answer based upon sound mathematics (reliable & repeatable)
31
TPC-C Benchmark
• Historical Industry Standard “OLTP” Benchmark
• URL: www.tpc.org/tpchc
• Spec: http://tpc.org/tpcc/spec/tpcc_current.pdf
• Probably the most used & widely quoted benchmark
• But suffers from overly simplistic design & code logic
• Generally considered unreliable with modern RDBMS
• But still a decent rough “sounding board” for many ….
• Being replaced by the newer TPC-E (later slides)

TPC-E Benchmark
• Emerging Industry Standard “OLTP” Benchmark
• URL: www.tpc.org/tpche
• Spec: http://tpc.org/tpce/spec/TPCE-v1.5.1.pdf
• Very new and still evolving – but highly promising
• Not too many published TPC-E results as of yet …
• Design not compromised by RDBMS features
• Much more realistic (i.e. real world) in nature 
• Nowhere near as easy as the old TPC-C test 

But wait: adding cluster &partitioning yields negative – why ???
Look to Stats Pack, AWR and ADDM Reports to investigate…
36
Single block
reads 32 ms!
DISTRICT Table
needs clustered
Suggest fix one major item
per test iteration, so made
choice to address this 1st
Single block read 32 ms 
Clustering worked, it made
SQL the #1 performance
issue – as was expected
Single block read 5 ms 
Partitioning did not shine
through just yet, possibly
skewed by the first issue
Switch MEMORY_TARGET to SGA/PGA_TARGETS
-13%
Notice that manual memory management resulted in 13% gain !!!
But wait, there’s more (isn’t that almost always the case) …
39
Now it’s all
just SQL, so
time for
SQL Tuning

&

SQL Tuning Sets & 11G Results/Client Cache

Going to stop – Have quickly reached the “good enough” point 

Other Interesting Findings
• 64-bit scales much more reliably than 32-bit, even when
on same hardware and using the <= 4GB memory model
• If you know the application code’s nature and it’s well
definable, manual memory management may be better
• Using manual SGA/PGA targets with floors yields much
more scalable results and also more predictable patterns
• Partitioning is not an automatic bonus, must experiment
to identify the optimal partitioning scheme per situation
• Don’t forget older technologies like clusters, they still can
add a positive to the overall equation in certain cases
• Don’t forget SQL Tuning Sets & SQL Advisor, or the
“explain plans” may not in fact be the best obtainable
• Don’t forget 11G’s Result and Client Caches
