客户数据库出现大量cache buffer chains latch
客户产品数据库上午出现了严重的性能问题,简单记录一下问题的诊断和解决过程。
可以看到,数据库的DB TIME已经涨到了非常高的地步,这说明系统正经受着非常严重的性能问题:

从TOP 5看,等待事件中最明显的是latch: cache buffers chains,从当前系统的状态也可以看到这一点:

其实根据这些现象,基本上可以判断问题了。肯定是SQL执行计划的改变导致了当前的性能问题。而类似绑定变量窥探之类的问题只会影响个别的SQL,而这么大面积的执行计划的改变,几乎可以断定是统计信息造成的。
询问了一下客户最近的操作,原来昨天夜里通过数据库链的方式导入了一部分数据。而今天一早问题就出现了。
其实问题已经很明显了,在通过数据库链加载数据后,并没有重新收集统计信息,且由于加载时间是在半夜,这批数据也没有赶上每天22:00的统计信息自动收集的工作。这就使得Oracle在生成执行计划时,会依赖数据加载前的统计信息,从而造成了错误的执行计划。
首先解决问题的根源问题,对加载过数据的表重新收集统计:
SQL> SELECT 'EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS(''USER1'', ''' || TABLE_NAME || ''', CASCADE => TRUE)' FROM DBA_TABLES WHERE OWNER = 'USER1' AND LAST_ANALYZED < TRUNC(SYSDATE);
'EXECDBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS(''USER1'','''||TABLE_NAME||''',CASCADE=>TRUE)'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('USER1', 'TABLE_1', CASCADE => TRUE)
EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('USER1', 'TABLE_2', CASCADE => TRUE)
.
.
.
EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('USER1', 'TABLE_3', CASCADE => TRUE)
EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('USER1', 'TABLE_4', CASCADE => TRUE)
12 rows selected.
SQL> EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('USER1', 'TABLE_1', CASCADE => TRUE)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('USER1', 'TABLE_2', CASCADE => TRUE)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
.
.
.
SQL> EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('USER1', 'TABLE_3', CASCADE => TRUE)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('USER1', 'TABLE_4', CASCADE => TRUE)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
虽然问题的根源已经被解决,但是当前运行的SQL并不会改变执行计划,因此还需要找到问题的SQL,从后台将其结束:
SQL> SELECT 'kill -9 ' || spid from v$session s, v$process p where s.username = 'USER2' and s.paddr = p.addr and event = 'latch: cache buffers chains';
'KILL-9'||SPID
--------------------
kill -9 28321
kill -9 25384
kill -9 23697
kill -9 7239
.
.
.
kill -9 9331
kill -9 13759
740 rows selected.
SQL> SELECT 'kill -9 ' || spid from gv$session s, gv$process p where s.username = 'USER2' and s.paddr = p.addr and event = 'latch: cache buffers chains' and s.inst_id = p.inst_id and s.inst_id = 2;
'KILL-9'||SPID
--------------------
kill -9 23992
kill -9 5289
kill -9 21067
kill -9 16816
kill -9 16820
kill -9 26767
.
.
.
kill -9 14981
kill -9 26678
kill -9 26682
258 rows selected.
分别在两个节点杀掉这些执行计划存在问题的会话,释放被大量占用的系统资源。
由于Oracle的执行计划并非在收集统计信息后马上生效,因此还有个别的SQL仍然沿用错误的执行计划:
SQL> select distinct inst_id, sql_id from gv$session where event = 'latch: cache buffers chains';
INST_ID SQL_ID
---------- -------------
1 39gvg7vbcm8jx
1 a6aqkm30u7p90
SQL> select address, hash_value from v$sqlarea where sql_id = 'a6aqkm30u7p90';
ADDRESS HASH_VALUE
---------------- ----------
C000000EB7ED3420 3248739616
SQL> exec dbms_shared_pool.purge('C000000EB7ED3420,3248739616','C')
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select address, hash_value from v$sqlarea where sql_id ='39gvg7vbcm8jx';
ADDRESS HASH_VALUE
---------------- ----------
C000001037B8E308 3603538493
SQL> exec dbms_shared_pool.purge('C000001037B8E308’,‘3603538493', 'C')
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
由于当前的数据库版本是10.2.0.5,因此可以很方便的使用dbms_shared_pool将执行计划错误的SQL清除出共享池,强制其重新生成执行计划。
SQL> select event, count(*) from gv$session where username like != user GROUP BY EVENT order by 2 desc;
EVENT COUNT(*)
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
SQL*Net message from client 370
SQL*Net message to client 15

latch free 4
Streams AQ: waiting for messages in the queue 1
5 rows selected.
数据库中SQL执行计划错误除了导致大量的latch: cache buffers chains等待以外,还存在gc cr request和latch free等这些等待事件,经分析同样是由于错误的执行计划所致。将这些会话采用相同的方法清除后,系统负载恢复到正常范围:
