I need some help with tuning log file sync waits.
This parameter has been always among the top 5 for our application because of it's nature - hundreds of small transactions/min, from 70 to 700 processes in the same time, hundred of single commits per second. Now we have a new application version which performs much worse then the old one. In the custom application log, I can see that there are significant waits for some queries, but that doesn't tell me where this time comes from - it's overall from the time the app issue the statement till the moment it comes back from the database. I do not know what has been changed in the app code, but what I see on the statpack is that this param has been increased several times. I tried to explain the nature of this param and that we need to check the code commits, but it has been said that this is a "pure database problem".
What system views I could use so I could trace where the time goes from the application call to its completion back to the app. I run a trace but there's no much more info inside.
The v$waits views do not have any significant waits for my session.
Thanks a lot for any idea.mj

I cannot change the app. This is the way it works. I need to tune up my DB to handle it. I tried to increase the Log_Buffer to 10M and it help a little. I have also log parallel writes issue. The logs are on separate devise - good speed disks. I could also move them on raw device RAID 0+1...
Please, advise what are my options. It should be something...
The same app runs with different data on DB2 and performs 5 time better and stable... I cannot believe that Oracle cannot do it. It should be a config issue.
I could change the size of redo logs, to tune the checkpoint time, etc.
Thanks a lot for the help.
Bellow is my stat pack:

Initial guess is that you have undersized the log buffer and log file sizes and numbers of files for the work you are doing.
Also, you can't compare apples to oranges. To say the same app works 5 times faster on db2 doesn't really make sense. You can't treat a RDBMS as a black box and one app fits all. There are fundamental differences in each RDBMS that must be considered when developing an application, or the application will suffer performance wise, and may not even return correct results. Suggest you check out Effective Oracle By Design by Tom Kyte who discusses this issue in much greater detail.
But by definition, due to architectural differences in different databases, a single application can not perform well on more than one of them. They must be customized to the database, at least with regards to data access issues.
