Re: How to check informix DB bottlenecks

In Response To: Re: How to check informix DB bottlenecks (JACK PAPA)

The change in the frequency of running UPDATE STATISTICS could have an
impact on performance of certain queries, so that is an issue.

The comms delays are also a serious issue for this user. You can try
turning on OPTOFC for that session and see if it helps. That option reduces
the number of communications packets send between the session and the server
both ways and can help when communications are slow. Have your network folk
take a look at the router or switch that's between this particular user and
the server to see if there are errors being seen there and perhaps swap it
out for a new one.

FYI, a full UPDATE STATISTICS HIGH on the full database isn't necessary and
takes much longer than running through the recommended suite of commands.
You can use my dostats utility to automatically implement this protocol for
you. Dostats is contained in the package utils2_ak which you can download
from the IIUG Software Repository. Note that the current dostats source
file, dostats_ng.ec for Next Generation, does not support IDS 9.40 so you'll
have to modify the makefile to compile the older source file
dostats.ecwhich is also included in the package.
