Oracle DAX fallbacks

Hi,

could you explain what DAX fallbacks mean in detail and how to avoid them? Or is it ok to have fallbacks?

Unfortunately googling does not help...



MANpage says: fallbacks == Number of commands completed by the software, which DAX could not complete



OK, but why and what does it mean for the DB?



Running RAC on M7 with InMemory:

1st node=DAX commands 35.608.411 with 18 fallbacks

2nd node=DAX commands 63.563.607 with 2.656.188 fallbacks



Is it just a bad day for the second node? Any ideas how I could dig deeper at OS or DB level?



Thanks in advance and regards

- Martin

What is the difference between o_direct and DAX with ext4 filesystem?

I'm trying to understand the difference between o_direct flag of open system call and dax (direct access) with ext4 filesystem. According to my understanding both bypass page cache. But I'm still unclear about the crucial difference between these 2 techniques. If there is a huge difference... (1 Reply)

Term::Size::Any(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      Term::Size::Any(3pm)

NAME
Term::Size::Any - Retrieve terminal size SYNOPSIS
# the traditional way use Term::Size::Any qw( chars pixels ); ($columns, $rows) = chars *STDOUT{IO}; ($x, $y) = pixels; DESCRIPTION
This is a unified interface to retrieve terminal size. It loads one module of a list of known alternatives, each implementing some way to get the desired terminal information. This loaded module will actually do the job on behalf of "Term::Size::Any". Thus, "Term::Size::Any" depends on the availability of one of these modules: Term::Size (soon to be supported) Term::Size::Perl Term::Size::ReadKey (soon to be supported) Term::Size::Win32 This release fallbacks to Term::Size::Win32 if running in Windows 32 systems. For other platforms, it uses the first of Term::Size::Perl, Term::Size or Term::Size::ReadKey which loads successfully. (To be honest, I disabled the fallback to Term::Size and Term::Size::ReadKey which are buggy by now.) FUNCTIONS The traditional interface is by importing functions "chars" and "pixels" into the caller's space. chars ($columns, $rows) = chars($h); $columns = chars($h); "chars" returns the terminal size in units of characters corresponding to the given filehandle $h. If the argument is omitted, *STDIN{IO} is used. In scalar context, it returns the terminal width. pixels ($x, $y) = pixels($h); $x = pixels($h); "pixels" returns the terminal size in units of pixels corresponding to the given filehandle $h. If the argument is omitted, *STDIN{IO} is used. In scalar context, it returns the terminal width. Many systems with character-only terminals will return "(0, 0)". SEE ALSO
