    Oracle database server becomes slow after sone time

    Hi,

    I am using Oracle 8i(8.1.17) on sun solaris.
    After running the database for say 2-3 hours, it becomes slow. My queries takes long time to fetch the results.

    If I shutdown the datbase and re-start it, then performance becomes OK.

    SGA STATUS AT 30-Dec-2005 04:57:20 PM
    =====================================
    Object memory : 35721340 bytes (34.07MB)
    Shared sql memory : 23490369 bytes (22.4MB)
    Cursors memory : 368500 bytes (.35MB)
    Shared pool utilization (total) : 71496251 bytes (68.18MB)
    Free memory : 95885068 bytes (91.44MB)
    Shared pool allocation (actual) : 131072000 bytes (125MB)
    Percentage Utilized : 55%
    ----------------------------------------------------
    redo buffer allocation retries : 20
    redo log space wait time : 0
    ----------------------------------------------------
    Event Total_wait Total Timeout
    buffer busy waits : 7839 1582
    db file sequential read : 5138 0


    I am able to see that free memory is there.

    What could be the reason for slowing down.


    It would be appreciable to get a resonse.

    trace the queries, see where the time is being taken and stop guessing

    are you using CBO?
    If so make sure you are refreshing stale statistics

    this seems like a clear case for using statspack to determine the major waits on the system after startup and then after three hours.

    I don't see how stale statistics could be relevant

    Next thing you know you'll be charging $300 and hour and have your own remote-dba service.

    Well, sort of. I'd take one while things are "fast", one when things started going "a little slow" and then every 10 minutes until things were "slow".

    I agree, unlikely.
