跟着吕大师（VAGE）揭密隐含参数：_db_writer_coalesce_area_size
最近在看吕大师的大作《Oracle核心揭密》，马上要上市了，期待中。。。
这部大作可以与Jonathan Lewis大师的《Oracle Core_ Essential Internals for DBA》相提并论，看了几天收益颇多，哈哈美国有Lewis，中国有VAGE。

db file async I/O submit 553 84199251

始终没看到db file parallel write等待。。。。
在吕大师的指点下：
select event,TOTAL_WAITS , TIME_WAITED_MICRO from V$SYSTEM_EVENT where EVENT='db file async I/O submit';
MOS上有篇文章
'db file async I/O submit' when FILESYSTEMIO_OPTIONS=NONE [ID 1274737.1]
'db file async I/O submit' should be treated as 'db file parallel write' in previous releases.
**********************************************************************
在吕大的指点下，开始测试：
**********************************************************************
第一把：
参数：_db_writer_coalesce_area_size=1048576
sys@OCM> select event,TOTAL_WAITS , TIME_WAITED_MICRO from V$SYSTEM_EVENT where EVENT='db file async I/O submit';
EVENT TOTAL_WAITS TIME_WAITED_MICRO

gyj@OCM> set timing on;
gyj@OCM> update gyj100 set id=id+0 where rownum<=5000000;
5000000 rows updated.
Elapsed: 00:00:46.10
sys@OCM> select event,TOTAL_WAITS , TIME_WAITED_MICRO from V$SYSTEM_EVENT where EVENT='db file async I/O submit';
EVENT TOTAL_WAITS TIME_WAITED_MICRO
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- -----------------
db file async I/O submit 2222 128007271
sys@OCM> select (2222-1944)/46||'次/秒' from dual;
(2222-1944)/46
--------------
6.04347826次/秒
第二把测试，修改参数：
sys@OCM> alter system set "_db_writer_coalesce_area_size"=8048576 scope=spfile;
System altered.
sys@OCM> shutdown immediate;

sys@OCM> select event,TOTAL_WAITS , TIME_WAITED_MICRO from V$SYSTEM_EVENT where EVENT='db file async I/O submit';

sys@OCM> select 31/16||'次/秒' from dual;
31/16
----------
1.9375次/秒
再测一把，把参数改回去：_db_writer_coalesce_area_size=1048576
sys@OCM> alter system set "_db_writer_coalesce_area_size"=1048576 scope=spfile;
System altered.
sys@OCM> startup force;
ORACLE instance started.

sys@OCM> select event,TOTAL_WAITS , TIME_WAITED_MICRO from V$SYSTEM_EVENT where EVENT='db file async I/O submit';
no rows selected
gyj@OCM> update gyj100 set id=id+0 where rownum<=5000000;
5000000 rows updated.
Elapsed: 00:00:48.49
sys@OCM> sys@OCM> select event,TOTAL_WAITS , TIME_WAITED_MICRO from V$SYSTEM_EVENT where EVENT='db file async I/O submit';
EVENT TOTAL_WAITS TIME_WAITED_MICRO
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- -----------------
db file async I/O submit 282 40353435
sys@OCM> select 282/48||'次/秒' from dual;
282/48
----------
5.875次/秒
果然把参数db_writer_coalesce_area_size改大起作用了：
参数：_db_writer_coalesce_area_size=1048576， 产生db file async I/O submit等待6次/秒
参数：_db_writer_coalesce_area_size=8048576，产生db file async I/O submit等待2次/秒
