170 DBMS_SQLTUNE
The DBMS_SQLTUNE
package is the interface for tuning SQL on demand. The related package DBMS_AUTO_SQLTUNE
package provides the interface for SQL Tuning Advisor run as an automated task.
The chapter contains the following topics:

170.1 DBMS_SQLTUNE Overview
The DBMS_SQLTUNE
package provides a number of interrelated areas of functionality.
This section contains the following topics:
SQL Tuning Advisor
SQL Tuning Advisor is one of a suite of advisors, a set of expert systems that identifies and helps resolve database performance problems. Specifically, SQL Tuning Advisor automates tuning of problematic SQL statements. It takes one or more SQL statements as input and gives precise advice on how to tune the statements. The advisor provides the advice in the form of SQL actions for tuning the SQL along with their expected performance benefit.
The group of DBMS_SQLTUNE SQL Tuning Advisor Subprograms provide a task-oriented interface that enables you to access the advisor. You can call the following subprograms in the order given to use some of SQL Tuning Advisor's features:
-
CREATE_TUNING_TASK Functions creates a tuning task for tuning one or more SQL statements.
-
The EXECUTE_TUNING_TASK Function and Procedure executes a previously created tuning task.
-
The REPORT_TUNING_TASK Function displays the results of a tuning task.
-
You use the SCRIPT_TUNING_TASK Function to create a SQL*Plus script which can then be executed to implement a set of Advisor recommendations
SQL Profile Subprograms
SQL Tuning Advisor may recommend the creation of a SQL profile to improve the performance of a statement. SQL profiles consist of auxiliary statistics specific to the statement. The query optimizer makes estimates about cardinality, selectivity, and cost that can sometimes be off by a significant amount, resulting in poor execution plans. The SQL profile addresses this problem by collecting additional information using sampling and partial execution techniques to adjust these estimates.
The group of DBMS_SQLTUNE SQL Profile Subprograms provides a mechanism for delivering statistics to the optimizer that targets one particular SQL statement, and helps the optimizer make good decisions for that statement by giving it the most accurate statistical information possible. For example:
-
You can use the ACCEPT_SQL_PROFILE Procedure and Function to accept a SQL profile recommended by SQL Tuning Advisor.
-
You can alter the
STATUS
,NAME
,DESCRIPTION
, andCATEGORY
attributes of an existing SQL profile with the ALTER_SQL_PROFILE Procedure. -
You can drop a SQL profile with the DROP_SQL_PROFILE Procedure.
SQL Tuning Sets
SQL tuning sets store SQL statements along with the following information:
-
The execution context, such as the parsing schema name and bind values
-
Execution statistics such as average elapsed time and execution count
-
Execution plans, which are the sequence of operations that the database performs to run SQL statements
-
Row source statistics such as the number of rows processed for each operation executed within the plan
You can create SQL tuning sets by filtering or ranking SQL statements from several sources:
-
The shared SQL area using the SELECT_CURSOR_CACHE Function
-
Top SQL statements from the Automatic Workload Repository using the SELECT_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY Function
-
Other SQL tuning sets using the SELECT_SQLSET Function
-
SQL Performance Analyzer task comparison results using the SELECT_SQLPA_TASK Function
-
SQL Trace files using the SELECT_SQL_TRACE Function
-
A user-defined workload
The complete group of DBMS_SQLTUNE SQL Tuning Set Subprograms facilitates this functionality. As examples:
-
The CREATE_SQLSET Procedure and Function creates a SQL tuning set object in the database.
-
The LOAD_SQLSET Procedure populates the SQL tuning set with a set of selected SQL.
-
The CAPTURE_CURSOR_CACHE_SQLSET Procedure collects SQL statements from the shared SQL area over a specified time interval, attempting to build a realistic picture of database workload.
Note:
When manipulating SQL tuning sets, you can use DBMS_SQLSET as an alternative to DBMS_SQLTUNE
.
Import and Export of SQL Tuning Sets and SQL Profiles
Use DBMS_SQLTUNE
subprograms to move SQL profiles and SQL tuning sets from one system to another using a common programmatic model. In both cases, you create a staging table on the source database and populate this staging table with the relevant data. You then move that staging table to the destination system following the method of your choice (such as Oracle Data Pump, or a database link), where it is used to reconstitute the objects in their original form. The following steps are implemented by means of subprograms included in this package:
-
To create the staging table on the source system, call the CREATE_STGTAB_SQLPROF Procedure or the CREATE_STGTAB_SQLSET Procedure.
-
To populate the staging table with information from the source system, call the PACK_STGTAB_SQLPROF Procedure or PACK_STGTAB_SQLSET Procedure.
-
Move the staging table to the destination system.
-
To re-create the object on the new system, call the UNPACK_STGTAB_SQLPROF Procedure or the UNPACK_STGTAB_SQLSET Procedure.
See Also:
Oracle Database SQL Tuning Guide for more information about programmatic flow
Automatic Tuning Task Functions
The automated system task SYS_AUTO_SQL_TUNING_TASK
is created by the database as part of the catalog scripts. This task automatically chooses a set of high-load SQL from AWR and runs SQL Tuning Advisor on this SQL. The automated task performs the same comprehensive analysis as any other SQL Tuning task.
You can obtain a report on the activity of the Automatic SQL Tuning task through the DBMS_AUTO_SQLTUNE.REPORT_AUTO_TUNING_TASK
API.
See Also:
DBMS_AUTO_SQLTUNE for the list of subprograms that you can use to manage the automated SQL tuning task.
Real-Time SQL Monitoring
Real-time SQL Monitoring enables DBAs or performance analysts to monitor the execution of long-running SQL statements while they are executing. Both cursor statistics (such as CPU times and IO times) and execution plan statistics (such as number of output rows, memory and temp space used) are updated in almost real time during statement execution. The V$SQL_MONITOR
and V$SQL_PLAN_MONITOR
views expose these statistics. In addition, DBMS_SQLTUNE
provides the REPORT_SQL_MONITOR
and REPORT_SQL_MONITOR_LIST
functions to report monitoring information.
Note:
DBMS_SQL_MONITOR
also contains the REPORT_SQL_MONITOR
and REPORT_SQL_MONITOR_LIST
functions.
Tuning a Standby Database Workload
In some cases, a standby database can assume a reporting role in addition to its data protection role. The standby database can have its own workload of queries, some of which may require tuning. You can issue SQL Tuning Advisor statements on a standby database, which is read-only. A standby-to-primary database link enables DBMS_SQLTUNE
to write data to and read data from the primary database. The procedures that are eligible for tuning standby workloads include the database_link_to
parameter.
170.2 DBMS_SQLTUNE Security Model
This package is available to PUBLIC
and performs its own security checking.
Note the following:
-
Because SQL Tuning Advisor relies on the advisor framework, all tuning task interfaces (
*_TUNING_TASK
) require theADVISOR
privilege. -
SQL tuning set subprograms (
*_SQLSET
) require either of the following privileges:-
ADMINISTER SQL TUNING SET
You can only create and modify a SQL tuning set that you own.
-
ADMINISTER ANY SQL TUNING SET
You can operate on all SQL tuning sets, even those owned by other users.
-
-
In earlier releases, three different privileges were needed to invoke subprograms involving SQL profiles:
-
CREATE ANY SQL PROFILE
-
ALTER ANY SQL PROFILE
-
DROP ANY SQL PROFILE
The preceding privileges have been deprecated in favor of
ADMINISTER SQL MANAGEMENT OBJECT
. -
170.3 DBMS_SQLTUNE Data Structures
The SELECT_*
subprograms in the DBMS_SQLTUNE
package return objects of the SQLSET_ROW
type.
Object Types
170.3.1 SQLSET_ROW Object Type
The SQLSET_ROW
object models the content of a SQL tuning set for the user.
Logically, a SQL tuning set is a collection of SQLSET_ROW
objects. Each SQLSET_ROW
contains a single SQL statement along with its execution context, statistics, binds, and plan. The SELECT_*
subprograms each model a data source as a collection of SQLSET_ROW
objects, with each object uniquely identified by (sql_id
, plan_hash_value
). Similarly, the LOAD_SQLSET
procedure takes as input a cursor whose row type is SQLSET_ROW
, treating each SQLSET_ROW
in isolation according to the policies requested by the user.
Several subprograms package accept basic filters on the content of a SQL tuning set or data source. These filters are expressed in terms of the attributes within the SQLSET_ROW
as defined.

Usage Notes
The ADMINISTER SQL MANAGEMENT OBJECT
privilege is required. The CREATE ANY SQL PROFILE
privilege is deprecated.
Examples
You use both the procedure and the function versions of the subprogram in the same way except you must specify a return value to invoke the function. Here we give examples of the procedure only.
In this example, you tune a single SQL statement form the workload repository and you create the SQL profile recommended by SQL Tuning Advisor.
VARIABLE stmt_task VARCHAR2(64);
VARIABLE sts_task VARCHAR2(64);
-- create a tuning task tune the statement
EXEC :stmt_task := DBMS_SQLTUNE.CREATE_TUNING_TASK(
begin_snap => 1, -
end_snap => 2, -
sql_id => 'ay1m3ssvtrh24');
-- execute the resulting task
EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.EXECUTE_TUNING_TASK(:stmt_task);
EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.ACCEPT_SQL_PROFILE(:stmt_task);
Note that you do not have to specify the ID (that is, object_id
) for the advisor framework object created by SQL Tuning Advisor to represent the tuned SQL statement.
You might also want to accept the recommended SQL profile in a different category, (for example, TEST
), so that it is not used by default.
EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.ACCEPT_SQL_PROFILE (
task_name => :stmt_task, -
category => 'TEST');
You can use command ALTER
SESSION
SET
SQLTUNE_CATEGORY
= 'TEST'
to see how this profile behaves.
The following call creates a SQL profile that targets any SQL statement with the same force_matching_signature
as the tuned statement.
EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.ACCEPT_SQL_PROFILE (task_name => :stmt_task, -
force_match => TRUE);
In the following example, you tune a SQL tuning set, and you create a SQL profile for only one of the SQL statements in the SQL tuning set. The SQL statement is represented by an advisor framework object with ID equal to 5
. You must pass an object ID to the ACCEPT_SQL_PROFILE
procedure because there are potentially many SQL profiles for the tuning task. This object ID is given along with the report.
EXEC :sts_task := DBMS_SQLTUNE.CREATE_TUNING_TASK ( -
sqlset_name => 'my_workload', -
rank1 => 'ELAPSED_TIME', -
time_limit => 3600, -
description => 'my workload ordered by elapsed time');
-- execute the resulting task
EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.EXECUTE_TUNING_TASK(:sts_task);
-- create the profile for the sql statement corresponding to object_id = 5.
EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.ACCEPT_SQL_PROFILE (
task_name => :sts_task, -
object_id => 5);
170.5.3 ADD_SQLSET_REFERENCE Function
This procedure adds a new reference to an existing SQL tuning set to indicate its use by a client.
See Also:
DBMS_SQLTUNE SQL Tuning Set Subprograms for other subprograms in this group
Syntax
DBMS_SQLTUNE.ADD_SQLSET_REFERENCE (
sqlset_name IN VARCHAR2,
description IN VARCHAR2 := NULL)
RETURN NUMBER;
Parameters
The parameters are identical for
DBMS_SQLTUNE.ADD_SQLSET_REFERENCE
and
DBMS_SQLSET.ADD_REFERENCE
.
Table 170-10 ADD_SQLSET_REFERENCE and ADD_REFERENCE Function Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
|
Specifies the name of the SQL tuning set. |
|
Provides an optional description of the usage of SQL tuning set. The description is truncated if longer than 256 characters. |
|
Specifies the owner of the SQL tuning set, or |
Return Values
The identifier of the added reference.
Examples
You can add reference to a SQL tuning set. This prevents the tuning set from being modified while it is being used. References are automatically added when you invoke SQL Tuning Advisor on the SQL tuning set, so you should use this function for custom purposes only. The function returns a reference ID that is used to remove it later. You use the REMOVE_SQLSET_REFERENCE
procedure to delete references to a SQL tuning set.
VARIABLE rid NUMBER;
EXEC :rid := DBMS_SQLTUNE.ADD_SQLSET_REFERENCE( -
sqlset_name => 'my_workload', -
description => 'my sts reference');
You can use the DBA_SQLSET_REFERENCES
view to find all references on a given SQL tuning set.
170.5.4 ALTER_SQL_PROFILE Procedure
This procedure alters specific attributes of an existing SQL profile object.
The following attributes can be altered (using these attribute names):
-
STATUS
can be set toENABLED
orDISABLED
. -
NAME
can be reset to a valid name which must be a valid Oracle identifier and must be unique. -
DESCRIPTION
can be set to any string of size no more than 500 characters. -
CATEGORY
can be reset to a valid category name which must be a valid Oracle identifier and must be unique when combined with normalized SQL text).

170.5.6 CAPTURE_CURSOR_CACHE_SQLSET Procedure
This procedure captures a workload from the shared SQL area into a SQL tuning set.
The procedure polls the cache multiple times over a time period, and updates the workload data stored there. It can execute over as long a period as required to capture an entire system workload.

Syntax
DBMS_SQLTUNE.CAPTURE_CURSOR_CACHE_SQLSET (
sqlset_name IN VARCHAR2,
time_limit IN POSITIVE := 1800,
repeat_interval IN POSITIVE := 300,
capture_option IN VARCHAR2 := 'MERGE',
capture_mode IN NUMBER := MODE_REPLACE_OLD_STATS,
basic_filter IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
sqlset_owner IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
recursive_sql IN VARCHAR2 := HAS_RECURSIVE_SQL);
Parameters
The parameters are the same for both
DBMS_SQLTUNE.CAPTURE_CURSOR_CACHE_SQLSET
and
DBMS_SQLSET.CAPTURE_CURSOR_CACHE
.
Table 170-13 CAPTURE_CURSOR_CACHE_SQLSET and CAPTURE_CURSOR_CACHE Procedure Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
|
Specifies the SQL tuning set name |
|
Defines the total amount of time, in seconds, to execute. |
|
Defines the amount of time, in seconds, to pause between sampling. |
|
Specifies whether to insert new statements, update existing statements, or both. Values are |
|
Specifies the capture mode (
|
|
Defines a filter to apply to the shared SQL area for each sample. If |
|
Specifies the owner of the SQL tuning set or |
|
Defines a filter that includes recursive SQL in the SQL tuning set
( |
Examples
In this example capture takes place over a 30-second period, polling the cache once every five seconds. This captures all statements run during that period but not before or after. If the same statement appears a second time, the process replaces the stored statement with the new occurrence.
Note that in production systems the time limit and repeat interval would be set much higher. You should tune the time_limit
and repeat_interval
parameters based on the workload time and shared SQL area turnover properties of your system.
EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.CAPTURE_CURSOR_CACHE_SQLSET( -
sqlset_name => 'my_workload', -
time_limit => 30, -
repeat_interval => 5);
In the following call you accumulate execution statistics as you go. This option produces an accurate picture of the cumulative activity of each cursor, even across age-outs, but it is more expensive than the previous example.
EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.CAPTURE_CURSOR_CACHE_SQLSET( -
sqlset_name => 'my_workload', -
time_limit => 30, -
repeat_interval => 5, -
capture_mode => dbms_sqltune.MODE_ACCUMULATE_STATS);
This call performs a very inexpensive capture where you only insert new statements and do not update their statistics once they have been inserted into the SQL tuning set
EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.CAPTURE_CURSOR_CACHE_SQLSET( -
sqlset_name => 'my_workload', -
time_limit => 30, -
repeat_interval => 5, -
capture_option => 'INSERT');

Exceptions
-
This procedure returns an error when
sqlset_name
is invalid, or a corresponding SQL tuning set does not exist, or thepopulate_cursor
is incorrect and cannot be executed. -
Exceptions are also raised when invalid filters are provided. Filters can be invalid either because they don't parse (for example, they refer to attributes not in
sqlset_row
), or because they violate the user's privileges.
Usage Notes
Rows in the input populate_cursor
must be of type
SQLSET_ROW
.
Examples
In this example, you create and populate a SQL tuning set with all shared SQL area statements with an elapsed time of 5 seconds or more excluding statements that belong to SYS
schema (to simulate an application user workload). You select all attributes of the SQL statements and load them in the tuning set using the default mode, which loads only new statements, since the SQL tuning set is empty.
-- create the tuning set
EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.CREATE_SQLSET('my_workload');
-- populate the tuning set from the shared SQL area
DECLARE
cur DBMS_SQLTUNE.SQLSET_CURSOR;
BEGIN
OPEN cur FOR
SELECT VALUE(P)
FROM table(
DBMS_SQLTUNE.SELECT_CURSOR_CACHE(
'parsing_schema_name <> ''SYS'' AND elapsed_time > 5000000',
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 1, NULL,
'ALL')) P;
DBMS_SQLTUNE.LOAD_SQLSET(sqlset_name => 'my_workload', populate_cursor => cur);
END;
/
Suppose now you wish to augment this information with what is stored in the workload repository (AWR). You populate the tuning set with 'ACCUMULATE'
as your update_option
because it is assumed the cursors currently in the cache had aged out since the snapshot was taken.
You omit the elapsed_time
filter because it is assumed that any statement captured in AWR is important, but still you throw away the SYS
-parsed cursors to avoid recursive SQL.
DECLARE
cur DBMS_SQLTUNE.SQLSET_CURSOR;
BEGIN
OPEN cur FOR
SELECT VALUE(P)
FROM table(
DBMS_SQLTUNE.SELECT_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY(1,2,
'parsing_schema_name <> ''SYS''',
NULL, NULL,NULL,NULL,
1,
NULL,
'ALL')) P;
DBMS_SQLTUNE.LOAD_SQLSET(sqlset_name => 'my_workload',
populate_cursor => cur,
Using DBMS_SQLTUNE
load_option => 'MERGE',
update_option => 'ACCUMULATE');
END;
The following example is a simple load that only inserts new statements from the workload repository, skipping existing ones (in the SQL tuning set). Note that 'INSERT'
is the default value for the load_option
argument of the LOAD_SQLSET
procedure.
DECLARE
cur sys_refcursor;
BEGIN
OPEN cur FOR
SELECT VALUE(P)
FROM table(DBMS_SQLTUNE.SELECT_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY(1,2)) P;
DBMS_SQLTUNE.LOAD_SQLSET(sqlset_name => 'my_workload', populate_cursor => cur);
END;
/
The next example demonstrates a load with UPDATE
option. This updates statements that already exist in the SQL tuning set but does not add new ones. By default, old statistics are replaced by their new values.
DECLARE
cur sys_refcursor;
BEGIN
OPEN cur FOR
SELECT VALUE(P)
FROM table(DBMS_SQLTUNE.SELECT_CURSOR_CACHE) P;
DBMS_SQLTUNE.LOAD_SQLSET(sqlset_name => 'my_workload',
populate_cursor => cur,
load_option => 'UPDATE');
END;

category into the staging table. This corresponds to all profiles used by default on this system.
EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.PACK_STGTAB_SQLPROF (staging_table_name => 'PROFILE_STGTAB');
This is another example where you put all profiles into the staging table. Note this moves profiles that are not currently being used by default but are in other categories, such as for testing purposes.
EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.PACK_STGTAB_SQLPROF (profile_category => '%', -
staging_table_name => 'PROFILE_STGTAB');
170.5.21 PACK_STGTAB_SQLSET Procedure
This procedure copies one or more SQL tuning sets from their location in the SYS
schema to a staging table created by the CREATE_STGTAB_SQLSET
procedure.

Usage Notes
-
The target SQL statement for this report can be:
-
The most recent SQL statement monitored by Oracle Database. This is the default behavior, so there is no need to specify any parameter.
-
The most recent SQL statement executed by a specific session and monitored by Oracle. The session is identified by its session id and optionally it serial number. For example, use
session_id =>
for the current session orsession_id => 20, session_serial => 103
for session ID 20, serial number 103. -
The most recent execution of a specific statement identified by its
sql_id
. -
A specific execution of a SQL statement identified by its execution key (
sql_id
,sql_exec_start
andsql_exec_id
).
-
-
This report produces performance data exposed by several fixed views, listed below. For this reason, the invoker of the report function must have privilege to select data from these fixed views (such as the
SELECT_CATALOG
role).-

GV$SQL_PLAN_MONITOR
-
GV$SQL_PLAN
-
GV$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY
-
GV$SESSION_LONGOPS
-
GV$SQL
-
-
The
bucket_max_count
andbucket_interval
parameters control the activity histogram.By default, the maximum number of buckets is set to 128. The database derives the
bucket_interval
value based on this count. Thebucket_interval
(value is in seconds) is computed such that it is the smallest possible power of 2 value (starting at 1 second) without exceeding the maximum number of buckets. For example, if the query has executed for 600 seconds, then the database selects abucket_interval
of 8 seconds (a power of two). The database chooses the value of 8 because 600/8 = 74, which is less than 128 buckets maximum. Smaller than 8 seconds would be 4 seconds, which would lead to more buckets than the 128 maximum. Ifbucket_interval
is specified, then the database uses the specified value instead of deriving it frombucket_max_count
. -

Parameters
Table 170-42 SELECT_SQL_TRACE Function Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
|
Defines the directory object containing the trace files. This field is mandatory. |
|
Specifies all or part of the name of the trace files. If |
|
Specifies the mapping table name. Note that the mapping table name is case insensitive. If the mapping
table name is |

|
|
Specifies which types of SQL statements are returned.
|
|
Specifies the delimiting pattern of the trace file sections to consider. CURRENTLY INOPERABLE. |
|
Specifies the closing delimiting pattern of the trace file sections to process. CURRENTLY INOPERABLE. |
|
Specifies the top SQL from the filtered source. Default to
|
Return Values
This function returns a SQLSET_ROW
object.
Usage Notes
The ability to create a
directory object for the system directory creates a potential security issue. For example,
in a CDB, all containers write trace files to the same directory. A local user with
SELECT
privileges on this directory can read the contents of trace files
belonging to any container.
To prevent this type of
unauthorized access, copy the files from the default SQL trace directory into a different
directory, and then create a directory object. Use the PATH_PREFIX
clause
of the CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE
statement to ensure that all directory
object paths associated with the PDB are restricted to the specified directory or its
subdirectories.
Examples
The following code shows how to enable SQL trace for a few SQL statements and load the results into a SQL tuning set:
-- turn on the SQL trace in the capture database
ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER, LEVEL 4'
-- run sql statements
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL;
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dba_tables WHERE table_name = :mytab;
ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT OFF';
-- create mapping table from the capture database
CREATE TABLE mapping AS
SELECT object_id id, owner, substr(object_name, 1, 30) name
FROM dba_objects
WHERE object_type NOT IN ('CONSUMER GROUP', 'EVALUATION CONTEXT',
'FUNCTION', 'INDEXTYPE', 'JAVA CLASS',
'JAVA DATA', 'JAVA RESOURCE', 'LIBRARY',
'LOB', 'OPERATOR', 'PACKAGE',
'PACKAGE BODY', 'PROCEDURE', 'QUEUE',
'RESOURCE PLAN', 'TRIGGER', 'TYPE',
'TYPE BODY')
UNION ALL
SELECT user_id id, username owner, NULL name
FROM dba_users;
-- create the directory object where the SQL traces are stored
CREATE DIRECTORY SQL_TRACE_DIR as '/home/foo/trace';
-- create the STS
EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.CREATE_SQLSET('my_sts', 'test purpose');
-- load the SQL statements into STS from SQL TRACE
DECLARE
cur sys_refcursor;
BEGIN
OPEN cur FOR
SELECT value(p)

DBMS_SQLTUNE.SELECT_SQL_TRACE(
directory=>'SQL_TRACE_DIR',
file_name=>'%trc',
