oci_set_prefetch
(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL OCI8 >= 1.1.0)
oci_set_prefetch — Sets number of rows to be prefetched by queries
Descrizione
Prefetching is Oracle's efficient way of returning more than one
data row from the database in each network request. This can
result in better network and CPU utilization. The buffering of
rows is internal to OCI8 and the behavior of OCI8 fetching
functions is unchanged regardless of the prefetch count. For
example, oci_fetch_row() will always return one
row. The prefetch buffer is per-statement and is not used by
re-executed statements or by other connections.
Call oci_set_prefetch() before
calling oci_execute().
A tuning goal is to set the prefetch value to a reasonable size for
the network and database to handle. For queries returning a very
large number of rows, overall system efficiency might be better if
rows are retrieved from the database in several chunks (i.e set the
prefetch value smaller than the number of rows). This allows the
database to handle other users' statements while the PHP script is
processing the current set of rows.
Query prefetching was introduced in Oracle 8i. REF CURSOR
prefetching was introduced in Oracle 11gR2 and occurs when PHP is
linked with Oracle 11gR2 (or later) Client libraries.
Nested cursor prefetching was
introduced in Oracle 11gR2 and requires both the Oracle Client
libraries and the database to be version 11gR2 or greater.
Prefetching is not supported when queries contain LONG or LOB
columns. The prefetch value is ignored and single-row fetches will
be used in all the situations when prefetching is not supported.
When using Oracle Database 12c, the prefetch
value set by PHP can be overridden by Oracle's
client oraaccess.xml configuration file. Refer
to Oracle documentation for more detail.

Esempi
Example #1 Changing the default prefetch value for a query
<?php
$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');
$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'SELECT * FROM myverybigtable');
oci_set_prefetch($stid, 300); // Set before calling oci_execute()
oci_execute($stid);
echo "<table border='1'>\n";
while ($row = oci_fetch_array($stid, OCI_ASSOC+OCI_RETURN_NULLS)) {
echo "<tr>\n";
foreach ($row as $item) {
echo " <td>".($item !== null ? htmlentities($item, ENT_QUOTES) : " ")."</td>\n";
}
echo "</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";
oci_free_statement($stid);
oci_close($conn);
?>
Example #2 Changing the default prefetch for a REF CURSOR fetch
<?php
/*
Create the PL/SQL stored procedure as:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE myproc(p1 OUT SYS_REFCURSOR) AS
BEGIN
OPEN p1 FOR SELECT * FROM all_objects WHERE ROWNUM < 5000;
END;
*/
$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');
$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'BEGIN myproc(:rc); END;');
$refcur = oci_new_cursor($conn);
oci_bind_by_name($stid, ':rc', $refcur, -1, OCI_B_CURSOR);
oci_execute($stid);
// Change the prefetch before executing the cursor.
// REF CURSOR prefetching works when PHP is linked with Oracle 11gR2 or later Client libraries
oci_set_prefetch($refcur, 200);
oci_execute($refcur);
echo "<table border='1'>\n";
while ($row = oci_fetch_array($refcur, OCI_ASSOC+OCI_RETURN_NULLS)) {
echo "<tr>\n";
foreach ($row as $item) {
echo " <td>".($item !== null ? htmlentities($item, ENT_QUOTES) : " ")."</td>\n";
}
echo "</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";
oci_free_statement($refcur);
oci_free_statement($stid);
oci_close($conn);
?>
If PHP OCI8 fetches from a REF CURSOR and then passes the REF
CURSOR back to a second PL/SQL procedure for further processing,
then set the REF CURSOR prefetch count to 0 to
avoid rows being "lost" from the result set. The prefetch value is
the number of extra rows fetched in each OCI8 internal request to
the database, so setting it to 0 means only
fetch one row at a time.
Example #3 Setting the prefetch value when passing a REF CURSOR back to Oracle
<?php
$conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/orcl');
// get the REF CURSOR
$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'BEGIN myproc(:rc_out); END;');
$refcur = oci_new_cursor($conn);
oci_bind_by_name($stid, ':rc_out', $refcur, -1, OCI_B_CURSOR);
oci_execute($stid);
// Display two rows, but don't prefetch any extra rows otherwise
// those extra rows would not be passed back to myproc_use_rc().
oci_set_prefetch($refcur, 0);
oci_execute($refcur);
$row = oci_fetch_array($refcur);
var_dump($row);
$row = oci_fetch_array($refcur);
var_dump($row);
// pass the REF CURSOR to myproc_use_rc() to do more data processing
// with the result set
$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'begin myproc_use_rc(:rc_in); end;');
oci_bind_by_name($stid, ':rc_in', $refcur, -1, OCI_B_CURSOR);
oci_execute($stid);
?>
