    I/O Performance Problem - Need help

    Gurus,

    I need your assistance here. I will try my best to explain the problem below. Any comment and suggestion will be highly appreciated.

    Main issue: we are running a process to generate invoice number for cable subscribers. To process 152K invoices the response is 54 minutes. To complete our full subscriber based, the estimated time will be near to 26 hours.
    Code:
    From Trace
    
    (1) Overal Wait statistics from the trace
    
    Event waited on                                     Times   Max. Wait  Total Waited
    ----------------------------------------   Waited  ----------  ------------
      SQL*Net message to client                   391525        0.00          0.27
      SQL*Net message from client                391525        0.00         47.40
      db file sequential read                            77802        0.50        146.89
    
    The SQL*Net message from client wait has been distributed into many sql statements with high executions. Hence I am not considering this wait as a culprit.
    
    (2) The following queries are waiting for 3 minutes on DB_File_Seq_Read
    (a) 
    SELECT Inv_ID FROM
     Invoice WHERE ((((SNUM=:PREDVALUE0) AND 
      (SBQ=:PREDVALUE1)) AND

      (STYPE=:PREDVALUE3)) AND 
      (SReq=:PREDVALUE4)

    (3) Looking at the V$Sessionwait i found that the SIGNIFICANT single block I/O is waiting on following 2 segments 
    
    SEGMENT_NAME
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Invoice
    CableOperator
    (4) Both the segments are sitting on the same tablespace sharing the same physical disk


    Question:


    (1) The duration of the trace file was 30 minutes and the overall total wait time is 3 minutes.
    Referring to the first query, to fetch one record the consistnt gets is 27 - is not that high?
    (2) Is it a possibility of I/O problem in Hardware how the datafiles are configured?

    Forgot to add

    while capturing p1 and p2 from v$syswait, I also captured the physicalreads and blockreads for those P1 from v$filemetric ..

    FILE_ID PHYSICAL_READS PHYSICAL_BLOCK_READS PHYSICAL_WRITES PHYSICAL_BLOCK_WRITES
    ---------- -------------- -------------------- --------------- ---------------------
    14 4240 4285 12 12
    14 4240 4285 12 12
    15 4493 4493 1 1
    15 4493 4493 1 1
    14 4240 4285 12 12




    I am curious to know why the PHYSICAL_READS & the PHYSICAL_BLOCK_READS are so high ... bcoz the waits were pretty frequent (in every couple of seconds).

    modify your post using CODE tag, as it is difficult to read
    Best wishes!

    You executed the query
    SELECT Inv_ID FROM
    Invoice WHERE ((((SNUM=:PREDVALUE0) AND
    (SBQ=:PREDVALUE1)) AND
    (SBV1=:PREDVALUE2)) AND
    (STYPE=:PREDVALUE3)) AND
    (SReq=:PREDVALUE4)


    78273 times and it returned 78273 rows. What it means you are processing one row a time. And it did 600K IOs. Or I can say 6.7 IO per execution which is not bad.

    To improve the performance, use bulk collect option. Or change the logic such a way that you process the data in one or two SQL statements.
