Hi Reader,

had some problems with the installation i want to mention for myself to remember next time;

Strange security settings of Oracle Software Directories

Hi Reader,

after installing Oracle 10.2 64bit on Suse Linux 10.1 I started the dbconsole. A page i visited soon was Tablespace page. Usually on our Windows Server 2003 32Bit system, with the same Oracle version, the Tablespace query lasts for about 20 seconds! On the Linux System with the same number of Application tablespaces the Query response time was < 0.5 seconds. I thought this could not be the result being on just another operating system or driving the database with 64bit.

After reviewing the explain plan i detected the access to the Table RECYCLEBIN$; As by default Tables dropped are moved logically to the RECYCLEBIN$; The segments remain until the place in the tablespace exceeds; And now I recognized a big difference; On the slow system the RECYCLEBIN$ had about 2,600 rows on the fast system only 16 rows.

I started to purge all these tables of the different users and believe me or not the Query got faster and faster; Now with 12 rows I have the same response time for both Systems Linux 64 bit / Windows 2003 32 Bit;

So keep your Oracle 10.2 RECYCLEBIN$ as small as possible;
