So the calc for number of subpools unchanged and needing 128 CPU for the full allocation, rather than topping out when you have 28.
I foresee manually reducing it for large and heavily parallel DW processing, but better for very large OLTP.
1/2
Interesting and undocumented changes in SGA management in Oracle 26ai:
- Up to 31 subpools in the shared pool (max seven in 19c defined by _kghdsidx_count)
- Subpools are split into thee durations (there were only two in 19c)
31 seems ripe for extra ORA-4031’s - trade off for the concurrency I suppose. Same cpu breakdown?
But I like the reduction in granule size. 512M was always too big, but across 31 subpools would be mad 😁
(I’d love to investigate but no massive server access at the moment)
So what are the raisins depicting 😬

But is there duck-oasis?
No? I’ll get my coat.
Very enjoyable day in town. Culture, Food then Comedy.
Audience at Leicester Square Thestre waiting for ABK to come onto stage.
Saw @misterabk.bsky.social last night. Most excellent, but the true highlight was the cartoon themes.
Except Duck Tales. I never liked Duck Tales.
Don’t you open that Trapdoor!
We’re gonna need a bigger teapot
With hilarious consequences
vin-eager? I've heard that rumour.🍷
As a mate of mine just said “Imagine losing 7-2 and that not being your worst defeat of the week”
😂 😂 😂

I'm doing a webinar next Tuesday. It's decent, but hey I'm biased. It's free to join. There will be pictures of dogs. You will likely learn something you didn't know before. There's even a tiny bit in there about the Oracle Database. #odtug @odtug.bsky.social
Fabulous result for #SAFC - great performances all round, done the double against #NUFC this season.
Brobbey is a beast! 💪
I have no nails left

Happy Birthday Gary Oldman
And my hairstyle is becoming decidedly monastic these days
Lots of strawberry hats
Au contraire…
My cat sleeps all day and then keeps me awake all night so this gave me a good laugh.

Inspired by @gunnarmorling.dev, I've added a page to my blog about how I do, and don't, use AI on my blog. tl;dr: NEVER for writing content. gross. But, for plenty else! 👉🏻 rmoff.net/ai/
You could call it "Bind Variables, mostly good except when they're not because Oracle isn't perfect and sometimes the optimizer has to guess, so you've got to do work to help it out**"
or maybe
"How many child cursors? Gosh that's slower"

🔥
**yes, also for literals but less so
That's great!
Now do one where bind variables get much worse results than using literals.
That was just the grimmest footy match. We were utterly terrible.
Port Vale worked really hard and deserved it. 👏

Larson comic. A newspaper seller saying “well I’ve got good gnu’s and bad gnu’s”. The booth behind him is full of gnu’s. This joke doesn’t work in the UK because we pronounce gnu incorrectly.
This made me realise I pronounced it the Flanders & Swann way.
I love this cartoon.
Best AI engine ever
What’s the point of VAR if it doesn’t clear up stuff obvious to everybody except the ref 🤷♂️
