大型数据库系统中往往要用到查询统计，但是对于数据量大的系统，用户在进行复杂的查询统计时往往感到速度很慢，不能满足应用要求，这就要求我们在设计数据库系统时进行合理设置，提高查询统计的速度。本文结合笔者的项目开发经验，阐述具体的设置方法。
以oracle7.33数据库系统为例，我们在开发大型oracle数据库系统时结合项目的特点，本着安全、高效的原则对数据库进行了一些物理设计，从而大大提高了数据库的查询统计速度。总结为如下几点：
1）扩大数据表空间到500M，用于存放本系统的数据；
2）段盘区的初始大小为10K，增长大小为10K，增长幅度为1；
3）用户临时空间增大40M；
4）系统临时表空间和回滚段表空间增大40M，并且新建4个回滚段；
5）需要经常联结查询，而且数据量又大的库存表、名录表、收发料表放在一簇内；
6）提供定时备份，备份文件放在另外的机器上。
设置数据表空间的SQL语句如下：
CREATE TABLESPACE WXGL_DATA1 DATAFILE 'WXGL_DATA1.ORA' SIZE 500M ONLINE;
增加系统临时表空间和回滚段表空间的SQL语句如下：
ALTER TABLESPACE TEMPORARY_DATA ADD DATAFILE 'TMP2ORCL.ORA' SIZE 40M;
ALTER TABLESPACE ROLLBACK_DATA ADD DATAFILE 'RBS2ORCL.ORA' SIZE 40M;
将数据空间设置在指定的数据文件的SQL语句如下：
CREATE USER ZBGL IDENTIFIED BY ZBGL;
GRANT DBA TO ZBGL;
ALTER USER ZBGL DEFAULT TABLESPACE WXGL_DATA1 TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMPORARY_DATA;
设置五个回滚段的SQL语句如下：
SELECT SEGMENT_NAME FROM DBA_ROLLBACK_SEGS WHERE INITIAL_EXTENT < 512000 AND
UPPPER(OWNER) = 'PUBLIC';
SELECT UPPER(STATUS) FROM DBA_ROLLBACK_SEGS WHERE UPPER(SEGMENT_NAME) = ''
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB1 OFFLINE;
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB2 OFFLINE;
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB3 OFFLINE;
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB4 OFFLINE;
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB5 OFFLINE;
DROP ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB1;
DROP ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB2;
DROP ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB3;
DROP ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB4;
DROP ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB5;
CREATE PUBLIC ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB1 TABLESPACE ROLLBACK_DATA
STORAGE (INITIAL 512000 NEXT 512000 MAXEXTENTS 121);
CREATE PUBLIC ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB2 TABLESPACE ROLLBACK_DATA
STORAGE (INITIAL 512000 NEXT 512000 MAXEXTENTS 121);
CREATE PUBLIC ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB3 TABLESPACE ROLLBACK_DATA
STORAGE (INITIAL 512000 NEXT 512000 MAXEXTENTS 121);
CREATE PUBLIC ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB4 TABLESPACE ROLLBACK_DATA
STORAGE (INITIAL 512000 NEXT 512000 MAXEXTENTS 121);
CREATE PUBLIC ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB5 TABLESPACE ROLLBACK_DATA
STORAGE (INITIAL 512000 NEXT 512000 MAXEXTENTS 121);
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB1 ONLINE;
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB2 ONLINE;
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB3 ONLINE;
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB4 ONLINE;
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT RB5 ONLINE;
COMMIT;
将数据量大的库存表等放在一簇内的SQL语句如下：
KCB='CREATE TABLE QC_KCB( '
+' CKNM NUMBER(8) ,'
+' QCNM NUMBER(10) ,'
+' CKKC NUMBER(12,2),'
+' SNCKKC NUMBER(12,2),'
+' LDJ NUMBER(12,2),'
+' BZ VARCHAR(100),'
+' PRIMARY KEY(CKNM,QCNM))'
+' TABLESPACE WXGL_DATA1 ' ; （大数据量的库存表等放在WXGL_DATA1)
QCFL = 'CREATE TABLE QC_QCFL '
+ '(FLBH NUMBER(2) PRIMARY KEY,'
+ ' FLMC VARCHAR(20) '
+ ' ) '
+' TABLESPACE WXGL_DATA2 ' ;(其他表放在WXGL_DATA2）
系统的基础数据库存表、名录表大约有数据80M；一个单位一般每年收发300次，收发料单大约有数据50M；系统冗余数据100M，系统辅助数据10M；因此，系统总共需要空间大约是240M，现在系统开辟数据空间500M，完全满足存储要求。由于系统使用了冗余数据，在查询常用数据时，避免了多表联结查询的情况，这样，虽然使用了更多的存储空间，但查询效率大幅度提高；同时，系统将需要经常联结查询的数据放在一簇，即将存放这些数据的空间在物理上相邻，这样也使查询速度大大提高。
另外在oracle7.33数据库的Database目录下有一个Initorcl.ora文件，改变其中的设置也可以提高查询统计速度。该文件的内容如下：
$Header: init.ora 1.2 94/10/18 16:12:36 gdudey Osd

11# This file is provided by Oracle Corporation to help you customize
12
13# your RDBMS installation for your site. Important system parameters
14
15# are discussed, and example settings given.
16
17#
18
19# Some parameter settings are generic to any size installation.
20
21# For parameters that require different values in different size
22
23# installations, three scenarios have been provided: SMALL, MEDIUM
24
25# and LARGE. Any parameter that needs to be tuned according to
26
27# installation size will have three settings, each one commented
28
29# according to installation size.
30
31#
32
33# Use the following table to approximate the SGA size needed for the
34
35# three scenarious provided in this file:

45# Size 4K 5500K 8800K 21000K

48
49# To set up a database that multiple instances will be using, place
50
51# all instance-specific parameters in one file, and then have all
52
53# of these files point to a master file using the IFILE command.
54
55# This way, when you change a public
56
57# parameter, it will automatically change on all instances. This is
58
59# necessary, since all instances must run with the same value for many
60
61# parameters. For example, if you choose to use private rollback segments,
62
63# these must be specified in different files, but since all gc_*
64
65# parameters must be the same on all instances, they should be in one file.
66
67#
68
69# INSTRUCTIONS: Edit this file and the other INIT files it calls for
70
71# your site, either by using the values provided here or by providing
72
73# your own. Then place an IFILE= line into each instance-specific
74
75# INIT file that points at this file. ###############################################################################

176可以修改该文件的db_file_multiblock_read_count，db_block_buffers，shared_pool_size，processes ，log_buffer，sequence_cache_entries，sequence_cache_hash_buckets等项（文件中均有提示），根据需要和系统使用的数据库服务器的特点适当改大数值，可以提高查询统计速度。这里要注意的是，必须将 log_archive_start = true 项改为False，设置才能生效。
