The document discusses using Statspack and AWR (Automatic Workload Repository) to analyze SQL performance and identify poorly performing queries. It provides examples of Statspack reports and how to interpret them to find SQL statements that are doing full table scans, experiencing buffer cache misses, or are inefficient due to lack of bind variables. The document also discusses how to identify SQL statements that are causing excessive sorting.
Your tuning arsenal: AWR, ADDM, ASH, Metrics and AdvisorsJohn Kanagaraj
Oracle Database 10g brought in a slew of tuning and performance related tools and indeed a new way of dealing with performance issues. Even though 10g has been around for a while, many DBAs haven’t really used many of the new features, mostly because they are not well known or understood. In this Expert session, we will look past the slick demos of the new tuning and performance related tools and go “under the hood”. Using this knowledge, we will bypass the GUI and look at the views and counters that matter and quickly understand what they are saying. Tools covered include AWR, ADDM, ASH, Metrics, Tuning Advisors and their related views. Much of information about Oracle Database 10g presented in this paper has been adapted from my book and I acknowledge that with gratitude to my publisher - SAMS (Pearson).
Design and develop with performance in mind
Establish a tuning environment
Index wisely
Reduce parsing
Take advantage of Cost Based Optimizer
Avoid accidental table scans
Optimize necessary table scans
Optimize joins
Use array processing
Consider PL/SQL for “tricky” SQL

DB Time, Average Active Sessions, and ASH Math - Oracle performance fundamentalsJohn Beresniewicz
RMOUG 2020 abstract:
This session will cover core concepts for Oracle performance analysis first introduced in Oracle 10g and forming the backbone of many features in the Diagnostic and Tuning packs. The presentation will cover the theoretical basis and meaning of these concepts, as well as illustrate how they are fundamental to many user-facing features in both the database itself and Enterprise Manager.
Oracle 11G SCAN: Concepts and Implementation Experience SharingYury Velikanov
Single Client Access Name is a concept that makes database deployment easy on Oracle Database 11g R2 grids and complete the level of abstraction from the application perspective. Starting with the understanding of why this component is vital in the 11g grid infrastructure, this presentation walks through the main concepts of SCAN. You will learn how to plan and implement SCAN, what areas to be careful with, and how to monitor SCAN infrastructure and make sure it works as expected.

Oracle SQL tuning with SQL Plan ManagementBjoern Rost
Regression in SQL plans are a frequent cause for performance related incidents when the cost-based optimizer comes up with a new plan due to changes in data distribution, statistics, or binds. While most organizations have very strict processes for changes to applications or infrastructure, the CBO is most often left alone, accepting that SQL execution performance could change at any time. But with SQL Plan Management it does not take much effort to implement a process that makes changes to SQL plans manageable. It starts with monitoring regression in execution times, capturing baselines, auto pre-evaluating potentially better plans, and documenting information needed to accept the change. We will not only cover how SPM works, but also how you can start using it in your organization today.
Awr1page - Sanity checking time instrumentation in AWR reportsJohn Beresniewicz
Discusses Oracle time-based performance instrumentation as presented in AWR reports and inconsistencies between instrumentation sources that can cause confusion as conflicting information is presented. The cognitive load of investigating and reasoning about such conundrums is very high, discouraging even senior performance experts. A program (AWR1page) is discussed that consumes an AWR report and produces a 1-page normalized time summary by instrumentation source, precisely designed for reasoning about instrumentation inconsistencies in AWR reports.
Using SQL Plan Management (SPM) to balance Plan Flexibility and Plan StabilityCarlos Sierra
Have you been in a situation where an Execution Plan changes unexpectedly? Have you been asked to "fix" a Plan Stability issue? If you have, then you may have heard of Adaptive Cursor Sharing (ACS) and SQL Plan Baselines.
SQL Plan Management (SPM) can be explained as a collection of three functions: SQL Plan Baseline (SPB) creation, Plan selection and Plan Evolution. This session is about understanding all 3 major components of SPM and learning how we can use this technology to input a set of Flexible Plans created by Adaptive Cursor Sharing (ACS) and make them more steady.
ACS and SPM actually work really well together. Understanding their complex relationship is key to balance the yin and yang of Plan Flexibility and Plan Stability on an Oracle Database (11g or higher). This Session shows how these duo (ACS and SPM) can do great things if you make them work together as a team.
As a Developer or a DBA, if you need to know more about Execution Plan Stability, this session may provide you with some valuable insight. Some tools to transport a Plan from one system to another, or to simply create a SQL Plan Baseline from different sources are also presented.
My Experience Using Oracle SQL Plan Baselines 11g/12cNelson Calero
This presentation shows how to use the Oracle database functionality SQL Plan Baselines, with examples from real life usage on production (mostly 11gR2) and how to troubleshoot it.
SQL Plan Baselines is a feature introduced on 11g to manage SQL execution plans to prevent performance regressions. The concepts will be presented, along with examples, and some edge cases.
How a Developer can Troubleshoot a SQL performing poorly on a Production DBCarlos Sierra
This session is about some free small scripts you can execute from SQL*Plus, which provide you with some basics about a SQL statement, like the Execution Plan from multiple child cursors, their SQL Monitor report if your site has the Tuning Pack, and some useful Active Session History (ASH) summaries for your SQL if your site has the Diagnostics Pack. And if you have neither the Tuning nor the Diagnostics Pack then you may want to learn about some alternatives to collect important performance metrics.
