A senior DBA asked you to execute the following command to improve performance:
SQL> ALTER TABLE subscribe_log STORAGE(BUFFER_POOL recycle);
You checked the data in the SUBSCRIBE_LOG table and found that it is a large table containing one million rows.
What could be a reason for this recommendation?
A. The keep pool is not configured.
B. Automatic Workarea Management is not configured.
C. Automatic Shared Memory Management is not enabled.
D. The data blocks in the SUBSCRIBE_LOG table are rarely accessed.
E. All the queries on the SUBSCRIBE_LOG table are rewritten to a materialized view.
Correct Answer:
D
The most of the rows in SUBSCRIBE_LOG table are accessed once a week.
至于recycle pool的使用,对于数据量很大的表来说,如果数据访问不是很频繁但是因为性能考虑,还是需要做些什么的时候,可以考虑把表或者索引放入recycle pool,让它尽管去不停的刷那一部分缓存,不会带来太多的性能抖动。
