I previously looked in Part I and Part II how Scalable Sequences officially released in 18c can reduce index contention issues, by automatically assigning a 6 digit prefix to the sequence value based on the instance ID and session ID of the session. We need to be careful and consider this 6 digit prefix if […]
In Scalable Sequences Part I, I introduced this new 18c feature (although it was hidden and undocumented in previous releases). By adding a 6 digit prefix value that constitutes the first 3 digits for the Instance Id and the next 3 digits for the Session Id, it results in a sequence value that doesn’t always […]
Due to popular demand, I’ve been asked by Oracle to again run some “Let’s Talk Database” events this month. Dates and venues are as follows: Wednesday, 23 May – Canberra (Cliftons Canberra, 10 Moore St): Registration Link. Tuesday, 29 May – Melbourne (Oracle Melbourne Office, 417 St Kilda Road): Registration Link. Wednesday, 30 May – Sydney […]
One of the problems with populating the value of a Primary Key (or some such), is that they can cause contention, especially in relation to indexes. By having an indexed value that monotonically increases, the right-hand most index leaf block is continually being accessed, which results in a “hot block”, which in turn results in […]

One of the potentially cool new features introduced in Oracle Database 18c is the Memoptimized RowStore, designed to improve the performance and scalability of key-value based queries. A new pool in the SGA called the Memoptimize Pool can be configured to store specific heap tables that you may wish to optimize, in a manner not […]
