Enabling DBMS_STATS.POSTPROCESS_STATS on Oracle's Autonomous Database means allowing the database to perform post-processing operations on the statistics gathered by the DBMS_STATS package. Here are the implications and reasons why enabling it might be beneficial:
Benefits of Enabling DBMS_STATS.POSTPROCESS_STATS:
Improved Query Performance: Post-processing can refine and enhance the quality of the statistics collected. Better statistics can lead to more accurate query plans, resulting in improved query performance.
Automatic Tuning: Oracle's Autonomous Database uses machine learning and other advanced techniques to automatically tune the database. Enabling post-processing allows these automated systems to work more effectively, ensuring that the database remains optimized without manual intervention.
Enhanced Optimizer Decisions: The Oracle optimizer relies on accurate and detailed statistics to make the best decisions for query execution plans. Post-processing helps ensure that the optimizer has the most comprehensive and accurate data, leading to better overall performance.
Consistency and Reliability: Enabling post-processing ensures that all statistics are handled uniformly and consistently across the database. This can help prevent issues caused by incomplete or inconsistent statistics.
How to Enable DBMS_STATS.POSTPROCESS_STATS:
Connect to the Database: Use SQL*Plus or another database management tool to connect to your Autonomous Database.
Enable the Procedure: BEGIN DBMS_STATS.SET_PARAM('POSTPROCESS_STATS', 'TRUE'); END; /
Verify the Change: SELECT DBMS_STATS.GET_PARAM('POSTPROCESS_STATS') FROM DUAL;
Considerations:
Resource Usage: Post-processing operations can consume additional CPU and I/O resources. It's essential to monitor the database performance to ensure that these operations do not negatively impact other workloads.
Testing: While enabling post-processing generally benefits performance, it's still a good practice to test changes in a non-production environment first to observe any potential impacts.
Monitoring and Tuning: After enabling post-processing, continue to monitor query performance and database health. The improved statistics should enhance performance, but it's always good to keep an eye on metrics to ensure everything is functioning as expected.
By enabling DBMS_STATS.POSTPROCESS_STATS, you leverage Oracle's advanced capabilities to automatically optimize and tune the database, leading to better performance and more efficient query execution.
