There are lots of tracing tools in the Oracle database as follows. Parse, execute, and fetch counts CPU and elapsed times Physical reads and logical reads Number of rows processed Misses on the library cache Username under which each parse occurred Each commit and rollback Wait event and bind data for each SQL statement Row operations showing the actual execution plan of each SQL statement Number of consistent reads, physical reads, physical writes, and time elapsed for each operation on a row You can enable tracing like following.
Trcsess utility trcsess utility is used to consolidate and merge trace output files from selected trace files according to some criterias such as session ID, client identifier, service name, action name, and module name.
Merged trace files are processed by Tkprof tool as follows. You can Run the Tkprof tool is as follows. What is AWR report in Oracle? Automatic Workload Repository report or AWR report collects, processes, and maintains performance statistics for problem detection and self-tuning purposes. This gathered data is stored both in memory and in the database, and is displayed in both reports and views.
Where is the trace file generated in Oracle? Question: How do I find the location of an Oracle trace file? What is Oracle performance tuning? Performance tuning is the process of optimizing Oracle performance by streamlining the execution of SQL statements. In other words, performance tuning simplifies the process of accessing and altering information contained by the database with the intention of improving query response times and application operations.
How do I trace a file? Open the Developer Options settings screen. In the Debugging section, select System Tracing. The System Tracing app opens.
Alternatively, if you've set up the System Tracing tile, you can long-tap on the tile to enter the System Tracing app. For example, if you insert a row into a table that does not have enough space to hold that row, then Oracle makes recursive calls to allocate the space dynamically. Recursive calls are also generated when data dictionary information is not available in the data dictionary cache and must be retrieved from disk.
You can suppress the listing of Oracle internal recursive calls for example, space management in the output file by setting the SYS command-line parameter to NO.
The statistics for a recursive SQL statement are included in the listing for that statement, not in the listing for the SQL statement that caused the recursive call. So, when you are calculating the total resources required to process a SQL statement, consider the statistics for that statement as well as those for recursive calls caused by that statement. For more information, see "Avoiding the Trigger Trap". These statistics appear on separate lines following the tabular statistics.
Trace files generated immediately after instance startup contain data that reflects the activity of the startup process. For the purposes of tuning, ignore such trace files. The key is the number of block visits, both query that is, subject to read consistency and current that is, not subject to read consistency. Segment headers and blocks that are going to be updated are acquired in current mode, but all query and subquery processing requests the data in query mode.
You can find high disk activity in the disk column. If it is acceptable to have 7. You can also see that 10 unnecessary parse call were made because there were 11 parse calls for this one statement and that array fetch operations were performed. You know this because more rows were fetched than there were fetches performed.
You might want to keep a history of the statistics generated by the SQL Trace facility for an application, and compare them over time. This script contains:. The script then inserts the new rows into the existing table. Most output table columns correspond directly to the statistics that appear in the formatted output file. The columns in Table help you identify a row of statistics. This is the date and time when the row was inserted into the table.
This value is not exactly the same as the time the statistics were collected by the SQL Trace facility. This indicates the level of recursion at which the SQL statement was issued. For example, a value of 0 indicates that a user issued the statement. A value of 1 indicates that Oracle generated the statement as a recursive call to process a statement with a value of 0 a statement issued by a user. A value of n indicates that Oracle generated the statement as a recursive call to process a statement with a value of n- 1.
This identifies the user issuing the statement. This value also appears in the formatted output file. Oracle uses this column value to keep track of the cursor to which each SQL statement was assigned. The output table does not store the statement's execution plan. The following query returns the statistics from the output table. If you are not aware of the values being bound at run time, then it is possible to fall into the argument trap.
If the bind variable is actually a number or a date, then TKPROF can cause implicit data conversions, which can cause inefficient plans to be executed. To avoid this, experiment with different data types in the query. The next example illustrates the read consistency trap.
Without knowing that an uncommitted transaction had made a series of updates to the NAME column, it is very difficult to see why so many block visits would be incurred. Cases like this are not normally repeatable: if the process were run again, it is unlikely that another transaction would interact with it in the same way. Many sort options exist, however some are more useful than others. Execnt , execpu , exedsk and prscnt are the most useful sort parameters when formatting trace output with tkprof because they are more indicative of most SQL performance issues.
The execution counts are most indicative of performance issues and therefore should bubble to the top. The prscnt parameter is important because it shows the SQL statements that are parsed most, usually a result of not using bind variables. The SQL tuning process prior to Oracle 9. This is a very time-consuming and burdensome process.
This is a vast improvement over prior versions. These views should be used to periodically check SQL statistics and full-table scans, alerting the DBA to problem areas requiring corrective action.
Best Practices for Using tkprof. Enable tracing only on those sessions that are having problems. Be selective to minimize the performance burden on the sessions and to retain more free space in the user dump destination directory. Rename trace files after tracing is disabled. The new file name should be something more meaningful that will be recognizable at a later date.
Delete trace files that are no longer needed to reduce clutter and free disk space. Explain Plan is not as useful when used in conjunction with tkprof since the trace file contains the actual execution path of the SQL statement. Use Explain Plan when anticipated execution statistics are desired without actually executing the statement. Therefore, trace with caution and remember to disable tracing after an adequate amount of trace data has been generated.
Oracle provides multiple ways to actually generate the trace file. Feel free to ask questions on our Oracle forum. Verify experience!

The tkprof process will be explained in six easy steps. Step 2: Turn Tracing On The next step in the process is to enable tracing. Version Naming Convention Example 7. Step 3: Turn Tracing Off The same options that we use to enable tracing are used to disable it.
