很多人也许并不清楚,null event其实不是空事件,因为不是没有等待事件,而是Oracle忘记了刚才等待的事件的名字具体是什么了,但却保留了该事件的真实情况。Oracle的开发人员直到9.2.0.3才更新了这些事件的名称。
那是不是我们每当遇到性能问题的时候都要patch到9.2.0.3呢?
我们已经知道他的真实情况依然在v$session_wait的p1、p2、p3参数里体现,所以,我们可以根据这些参数,找出这个null event究竟是什么等待事件。

1. lck processes to pick up extra or missed 'posts' (messages). in all cases that can be identified the wait time is zero, although on most ports this is changed to 1/100th second in order to force the process to be rescheduled. |
2. multiple db writers. two cases: - when the master has sent i/o requests to the slaves, it waits on this event for up to 6 seconds until the slaves signal that the i/o is complete. - the slaves wait on this event for up to 3 seconds whilst waiting for requests from the master db writer. |
