- 10. What can wedo? We don’t want to mislead others. We need to truly understand the situation if we are making decisions based on this information. SQL Elapsed Time Analysis
- 11. We have avariety of collection options. • SQL Trace. Valid option. – Must have ability to parse the trace files producing E times. – Can trace on sql_id. – Must be the production system. • Instrument SQL. Valid option. – May not be practical or possible. • Stopwatch. Risky. – Limited scope and very few samples. – OK for a specific user situation. • Benchmark or Isolated Testing. Very risky. – If you want real results, you need a real situation (HW, data, arrivals, concurrency). • OraPub E Time Collector. Valid, but grabs a core. – Free tool. OraPub search: “sql elapsed time” – Gathers at sql_id and plan_hash_value level. – Grabs and holds a CPU core, ouch! • OraPub E Sampler. Valid but not free. – Un-noticeable impact with same results as tracing or instrumentation! – Gathers at sql_id level and samples stored in Oracle table. – Licensed like a box of candy. – Beta version available for Insync attendees....free! More? “SQL sampler” SQL Elapsed Time Analysis
- 12. How good issampled data? This is smoothed histogram of elapsed Fmes for a specific sql_id (query) collected using SQL Trace, instrumentaFon, and OP Elapsed Fme Sampler (normal). Over a 5 minute period, around 80 samples where gathered from each collecFon method. All three collecFons methods produce the same results! More? True SQL Elapsed SQL Elapsed Time Analysis

- 20. Conclusions about averageE. • Average elapsed time for a specific SQL statement can be very misleading. • Elapsed times are not normally distributed. • The average elapsed time is not the typical elapsed time. • The modes are the typical elapsed times. • If the mode is not available, then the median can be used, in some cases. • If you need to communicate typical elapsed times, you need to gather real data.

- 21. Modeling elapsed time E= units of work x time per unit E (time/exec) = WL(work/exec) x RT(time/work) SQL Elapsed Time Analysis
- 22. Example of elapsedtime. Supposed a query must access 100,000 logical IOs and each LIO takes 0.020ms. Therefore, the elapsed Fme will be 2,000ms or 2.0 seconds. E (ms/exec) = units of work (LIO/exec) X time per work (ms/LIO)! ! 2000 ms/exec = 100,000 LIO/exec X 0.020 ms/LIO ! SQL Elapsed Time Analysis
- 23. When we tune,WL is reduced. • SQL tuning fundamentally reduces the work required to execute a statement. • Since less work is required then generally, the elapsed time will decrease! • If your tuning prowess reduces the work from 100,000 PIOs to 50,000 PIOs then you can expect the elapsed time to decrease by 50%. • But does this really occur in reality? hum...

- 25. Ways to reduceUOW process time. • There are many ways to reduce the time it takes to process a single unit of work. • There are direct methods and indirect methods. • Indirect: Because processes share and compete for resources, when the big issue is resolved, many other issues become less intense. • Direct: Tuning Oracle directly reduces the time required to process a piece of work.

- 29. The point? #1– Average is misleading. • It is easy to calculate the average elapsed time...even from Statspack. • But saying, “The average elapsed time is X.” will most likely mislead everyone. • The median or mode(s) is a much better representation of the typical elapsed times. • If you need to communicate typical elapsed times, you need to gather real data. SQL Elapsed Time Analysis
- 30. The point? #2– Modeling SQL E. • Two basic ways to reduce elapsed times: – Reduce work to be done. – Reduce time to process each piece of work. • SQL statement elapsed time can be simply modeled. • SQL statement elapsed time can be anticipated. SQL Elapsed Time Analysis
