oracle中_use_single_log_writer和_max_outstanding_log_writes

作者：袖梨 2022-06-29

SCALABLE LGWR是12cR1中引入的一个令人激动的特性，这是由于在OLTP环境中LGWR写日志往往成为系统的主要性能瓶颈，如果LGWR进程能像DBWR(DBW0~DBWn)那样多进程（LGNN）写出redo到LOGFILE那么就可能大幅释放OLTP的并发能力，增长Transcation系统的单位时间事务处理能力。这里在12.2版本中进行测试，确定_use_single_log_writer和_max_outstanding_log_writes参数对于SCALABLE LGWR特性的影响

数据库版本

lg进程数量

这里可以看出来，有一个lgwr进程，两个lg进程和_max_outstanding_log_writes参数配置匹配
[oracle@ora1221 ~]$ ps -ef|grep ora_lg
oracle 49790 1 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 ora_lgwr_orcl12c2
oracle 49794 1 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 ora_lg00_orcl12c2
oracle 49798 1 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 ora_lg01_orcl12c2

修改_max_outstanding_log_writes参数

通过修改_max_outstanding_log_writes参数为4，发现lg进程数量也变为了4，证明_max_outstanding_log_writes进程决定lg进程数量

修改_use_single_log_writer参数

通过测试_use_single_log_writer参数修改，我们可以确定_use_single_log_writer修改为true后，数据库恢复到12c之前的lgwr管理方式
