Re: Auto Update Statistics

In Response To: Re: Auto Update Statistics (Art Kagel)

Hi,

Just a little note on the "In addition:" section.

First dbexport needs exclusive access to a database in order to export it.
The database is not "locked" other then the Shared lock that is put on it
when a session opens the DB.

Second the onstat -g sql output only shows the home database for a session.
The session may have opened many different databases on many different
INFORMIXSERVERS. The best way to find out which sessions have a given DB
open (that I have found) is to query the sysmaster:sysopendb where
odb_dbname is the name you are interested in. You can also find the
session by examining the locks output from onstat -k but you need to look
up the rowid of the DB from sysmaster:sysdatabases and then trace the
address back to the session.

You appear to have already figured out it was the AUS thread that had the
DB open. That will happen if you need exclusive access while AUS evaluator
is running.

George.

On a large complex installation of 11.50 I would:

1. Disable AUS

2. Disable the default sensors and alerts - if you want to gather

operating statistics using the task scheduler create your own sensors that

write their output somewhere other than the database server's storage. If

you do that and write alert data ONLY to the ph_alert table you can use the

alert mechanisms. The overhead of the default sensors on any non-trivial

database is HUGE.

3. Use my dostats utility running multiple databases in parallel - You

can use the new scheduler feature to separate the evaluation phase from a

scheduled execution phase to run later.

4. Use AGS's Sentinel with Server Studio Enterprise to gather and report

server operating statistics and handle alerts.
