关于shared pool的深入探讨(一)

关于shared pool的设置一直是一个争议较多的内容.
很多文章上说,shared pool设置过大会带来额外的管理上的负担，从而在某些条件下会导致性能的下降.
那么这个管理上的负担指的是什么内容呢?
本文对这个内容作一定的深入探讨.
本文只涉及一个方面,后续的文章将从其他方面继续讨论.
基础知识:
我们可以通过如下命令转储shared pool共享内存的内容:
SQL> alter session set events 'immediate trace name heapdump level 2';
Session altered.
本测试中引用的两个trace文件:
9i:
SQL> gettrcname
TRACE_FILE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/opt/oracle/admin/hsjf/udump/hsjf_ora_24983.trc
8i:
SQL> gettrcname
TRACE_FILE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/oracle8/admin/guess/udump/guess_ora_22038.trc
Shared Pool通过free list管理free块,Free List按不同size划分Bucket
在Oracle8i中,不同bucket的size范围如下所示(size显示的是下边界):
oracle:/usr/oracle8/admin/guess/udump>cat guess_ora_22038.trc|grep Bucket
Bucket 0 size=44
Bucket 1 size=76
Bucket 2 size=140
Bucket 3 size=268
Bucket 4 size=524
Bucket 5 size=1036
Bucket 6 size=2060
Bucket 7 size=4108
Bucket 8 size=8204
Bucket 9 size=16396
Bucket 10 size=32780
我们注意,在这里，小于76的块都位于Bucket 0上;大于32780的块,都在Bucket 10上
初始的,数据库启动以后,shared pool多数是连续内存块
当空间分配使用以后,内存块开始被分割,碎片开始出现，Bucket列表开始变长
Oracle请求shared pool空间时，首先进入相应的Bucket进行查找
如果找不到,则转向下一个非空的bucket,获取第一个chunk
分割这个chunk,剩余部分会进入相应的Bucket,进一步增加碎片
最终的结果是,Bucket 0上的内存块会越来越多,越来越碎小
(在我这个测试的小型的数据库上,Bucket 0上的碎片已经达到9030个
而shared_pool_size设置仅为150M)
通常如果每个Bucket上的chunk多余2000个，就被认为是share pool碎片过多
而在大多数情况下,我们请求的都是相对小的chunk,这样搜索Bucket 0往往消耗了大量的时间以及资源
这可能导致share pool Latch被长时间的持有,导致更多的share pool竞争
所以在Oracle9i之前,如果盲目的增大shared_pool_size或设置过大的shared_pool_size，往往会适得其反
我们看一下Oracle9i中的处理方式:
[oraclejumper oracle]$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

我们看到,在Oracle9i中,Free Lists被划分为0~254,共255个Bucket
每个Bucket容纳的size范围
Bucket 0~199 容纳size以 4 递增
Bucket 200~249 容纳size以 64 递增
从Bucket 249开始,Oracle各Bucket步长进一步增加:
Bucket 249: 4012 ~4107 = 96
Bucket 250: 4108 ~8203 = 4096
Bucket 251: 8204 ~16395 = 8192
Bucket 252: 16396~32779 = 16384
Bucket 253: 32780~65547 = 32768
Bucket 254: >=65548
在Oracle9i中,对于小的chunk,Oracle增加了更多的Bucket来管理
0~199共200个Bucket,size以4为步长递增;200~249共50个Bucket,size以64递增.
这样每个Bucket中容纳的chunk数量大大减少,查找的效率得以提高.
这就是Oracle9i中shared pool管理的增强,通过这个算法的改进
Oracle8i中,过大shared pool带来的栓锁争用等性能问题在某种程度上得以解决.
