DBMS_MEMOPTIMIZE Overview

The DBMS_MEMOPTIMIZE package provides the interface for managing Memoptimized Rowstore data buffered in the large pool and the memoptimize pool.

The Memoptimized Rowstore provides the following functionality:

Fast Ingest

Fast ingest optimizes the processing of high-frequency, single-row data inserts. Fast ingest uses the large pool in the SGA for buffering the inserts before writing them to disk.
Fast Lookup

Fast lookup enables fast retrieval of data for high-frequency queries. Fast lookup uses a separate memory area in the SGA called the memoptimize pool for buffering data queried from tables.

The DBMS_MEMOPTIMIZE package provides the following operations related to the Memoptimized Rowstore:

Fast ingest operations:
- Provide the low high-water mark (low HWM) of the sequence numbers of rows that have been successfully written from the large pool to disk across all the sessions.
- Provide the high-water mark (HWM) sequence number of the row that has been written to the large pool for the current session.
- Flush all the fast ingest data from the large pool to disk for the current session.
Fast lookup operations:
- Remove data for a table from the memoptimize pool.
- Populate data for a table in the memoptimize pool.

Parameter Description

Parameter	Description
`schema_name`	Name of the schema.
`table_name`	Name of the table for which the data needs to be removed from the memoptimize pool.
`partition_name`	Name of the table partition for which the data needs to be removed from the memoptimize pool. This is an optional parameter and its default value is `NULL`.

schema_name

Name of the schema.

table_name

Name of the table for which the data needs to be removed from the memoptimize pool.

partition_name

Name of the table partition for which the data needs to be removed from the memoptimize pool.

This is an optional parameter and its default value is NULL.

GET_APPLY_HWM_SEQID Function

This function returns the low high-water mark (low HWM) of sequence numbers of the records that have been successfully written to disk across all the sessions.

Syntax

DBMS_MEMOPTIMIZE.GET_APPLY_HWM_SEQID
  RETURN number;

Return Value

Returns the low high-water mark (low HWM) of sequence numbers of the records that have been successfully written to disk across all the sessions.

GET_WRITE_HWM_SEQID Function

This function returns the high-water mark (HWM) sequence number of the record that has been written to the large pool for the current session.

Syntax

DBMS_MEMOPTIMIZE.GET_WRITE_HWM_SEQID
  RETURN number;

Return Value

Returns the high-water mark (HWM) sequence number of the record that has been written to the large pool for the current session.

POPULATE Procedure

This procedure populates the data for a table in the memoptimize pool.

Syntax

DBMS_MEMOPTIMIZE.POPULATE (
   schema_name        IN VARCHAR2,
   table_name         IN VARCHAR2,
   partition_name     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL);

Parameters

Parameter Description

Parameter	Description
`schema_name`	Name of the schema.
`table_name`	Name of the table for which the data needs to be populated in the memoptimize pool.

schema_name

Name of the schema.

table_name

Name of the table for which the data needs to be populated in the memoptimize pool.

partition_name

Name of the table partition for which the data needs to be populated in the memoptimize pool.

This is an optional parameter and its default value is NULL.

WRITE_END Procedure

This procedure flushes all the fast ingest data from the large pool to disk for the current session.

Syntax
