关于oracle mutex和latch的问题
关于latch和mutex的问题
from:http://www.itpub.net/thread-1004815-1-1.html
A:
latch是闩锁，是一种串行化机制，用来保护SGA中的内存结构。
mutex是什么，也是一种串行化机制，是互斥锁？
个人对mutex没有什么概念。这个是10G新引进的？9I好像没有啊。
哪位明白人，给帮忙详细解释下mutex，最好还能和latch 做下比较。
谢谢。
B:
BTW, things get more fun in 10.2, you can pin cursors without getting library cache pin latch, using KGX mutexes. Mutexes are new in 10.2 and they enable shared access to objects in somewhat similar manner to shared latche; every successful get of a particular mutex will increment its value and a release will decrement. When the count is zero, no one has the mutex and it is safe to get it in exclusive mode. However, they are more fine-grained than kgl latches and provide a better wait mechanism, as far as I understand.
So if your environment supports atomic compare and swap operation (such as CMPXCHG on Intel), you might get away without cursor_space_for_time setting for ultrahigh execution rates. Otherwise the atomic mutex operations would be achieved using the new KGX latches.
At least on my laptop this feature isn't enabled by default (from an OracleWorld paper I remember that it should become default in 10.2.0.2), but so far you can experiment with it if you set _kks_use_mutex_pin = true and bounce the instance (mutex structures will be stored in the shared pool, so you might need to increase shared pool size).
There are also X$MUTEX_SLEEP and X$MUTEX_SLEEP_HISTORY fixed tables that can show some interesting information if you generate some mutex waits into them.
Now, I don't suggest for a moment that you have to understand this response. It is at an extremely deep technical level, and the practical applications of such understanding are probably few and far between. My point, though, is that you must take the time to study and understand Oracle internal operations if you are to have success in Oracle performance optimization. There are no shortc

oracle实现汉字按照拼音、笔画和部首排序
找了相关的一些资料，都说的不是很清楚，自己也研究了下，终于搞明白了，希望对大家有帮助。
需要说明的是下面的方法需要ORACLE9i和以上的版本才支持。
Oracle9i之前，中文是按照二进制编码进行排序的。
在oracle9i中新增了按照拼音、部首、笔画排序功能。设置NLS_SORT值
