Subject RE: [firebird-support] Reads inconsistency between FB TraceManager and IB Planalyser
Author Louis van Alphen
Sure I understand that, but the reads/fetches are >3000 to return 1 row.

Hi Lois,

Reads value means actual reads from the disk.
If you run query twice, necessary database pages are cached, and you will see in stats more "fetches" - i.e., calls to cache, not record fetches.

Actually, always is better to run query twice, to get heated cache.

I am trying to find a performance issue in a system and I am using 2 tools just for comparison and verification. One being FB TraceManager (FBTM) and the other is an old util called

Interbase Planalyzer (IP)



It seems that the particular query from the view TRACKED_ITEM_LOCATION_DETAIL is slow.

From FBTM,while monitoring the app, I get the following raw output:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



3325 fetches and 112ms seem way over the top. The cache hit ratio is 0%.



However, when I use IP and manually enter the same SQL, I get the following:

Prepare time 1ms

Execution time 148ms

Fetch time 4ms

With a total of 7 fetches. Not sure where FBTM gets 3K fetches?



Also, if I remove the order by, IP reports a drastic reduction is execution time i.e. down to 6msec. Does the ORDER BY on the PK make such a difference?



I am not understanding what is going on.



Either way, here are the table & view info & stats



Thanks
