某系统升级后，报告事务端的数据库反应非常慢，用户大量投诉。
现场检查系统后，发现CPU占用到了80％（平时该系统正常时只有10％～20％）。wio也非常高（说明磁盘读写严重）。一段时间后，现场将statspack报告发回来了：

关注statspack中以下信息：Buffer Hit非常低，只有69.88%；在Top Event的等待事件中，db file scattered read的等待最高，占到了63.79%。很明显，这是由于数据文件扫描导致的buffer cache下降非常严重。而就肯定是由于存在全表扫描（全表扫描到的数据块不会被cache在buffer cache，而是会已最快的速度被置换出内存，这就是为什么全表扫描会导致buffer hit下降）语句所致。
再看top sql中的内容，我们发现，大多数top sql都涉及到一个奇特的表：MLOG$_T_LOOP。这张表的使用是不会出现在应用程序中。因此相关语句都是被系统调用的。那么这张表是做什么用的呢？
我们的系统为了将业务处理与业务查询分离，通过高级复制将业务处理端的某些表同步到业务查询端去。而mlog$_表就是记录最后一次刷新后，被同步表的数据变化的日志表，当查询端（即快照端）的刷新作业（我们设置10秒钟间隔运行）通过mlog$_读取到源表的数据变化，更新查询端相应的表。而业务处理端检测到所有快照端都更新过这些数据后，就会将这些数据删除。此外，mlog表上是没有任何索引，因此对mlog表的查询肯定是全表扫描。但是由于我们的刷新作业10秒钟更新一次，而10秒钟所产生的数据变化量非常小，在正确情况下，这样的全表扫描是不会影响到系统性能的。
我查了一下MLOG$_T_LOOP，发现它记录的数据确实非常少（一般只有几条数据），但是对它查询钟，physical reads却达到了6200多，这显然不正常。说明这张表的高水位（HWM，高水位记录的是表曾经达到的最大数据块，就像洪水过后留下的水位线。而对表的扫描并不是以当前的实际水位为基准的，而是以高水位为基准的，也就是说会扫描表曾经占用过的所有数据块）非常高。
通过现场了解，我们得知现场在做升级时，并没有停止同步刷新作业，而是将刷新作业间隔延长到2个小时。升级过程中，两边的数据库都没有停止。但是，期间在业务处理端做了一些数据处理，特别是表T_LOOP有大量的数据更新。
问题很明确了！由于升级过程中T_LOOP有大量的数据更新，而快照没有被刷新。因此mlog$_t_loop中保存了两个小时内的所有数据变化记录，导致高水位上升！而刷新作业再次恢复到10秒间隔后，尽管mlog$_t_loop中的数据量下降了，但是它的高水位并没有下降！
于是安排现场将业务处理端的客户连接断开，然后停止快照端的刷新作业，手工刷新一次同步后，检查业务处理端的mlog$表，确保这些表为空，然后truncate mlog$表，恢复同步作业，最后恢复业务处理端的客户连接。经过一段时间观察后，数据库恢复正常。
