Oracle11g: Methodology to trace a SQL request

Just a method to keep somewhere how to perform some trace when testing a query or a set of queries to known what's happening in the database :

Clean the buffer cache :
SQL> alter system flush buffer_cache;
Set the session in trace mode :
SQL> alter system set events 'sql_trace level=12' ;
Do your test...

Set the session out of the trace mode :
SQL> alter system set events 'sql_trace off' ;

Know look for the traces using adrci tool :

For more reference on event for tracing purposes : How To Use The New 11g Events++ Syntax For Easier SQL Tracing Of Datapump Operations? [ID 813737.1]

 How to trace fast user session :
See here under an extract from dba-village @http://www.dba-village.com/village/dvp_tips.TipDetails?TipIdA=3764
If you have to trace a "fast" user session, (for example, initiated by clicking on a button on the GUI of an application), you don't have enough time to query V$SESSION to initiate a trace for the session.

A very easy way is to use a database "on logon" trigger; here is an example:

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER ON_LOGON_SCOTT
AFTER LOGON ON DATABASE
WHEN ( USER = 'SCOTT' )
BEGIN
execute immediate
'alter session set events ''10046 trace name context forever, level 12''';
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
NULL;
END;

Remarks:
1) The “exception” block is of utmost importance to avoid big trouble if something goes wrong with the trigger.

2) The trigger can contain more conditions (for example: if sysdate between XXX and YYY)

3) Once the trigger is enabled, all new sessions of the user will be traced. To suspend this behaviour momentarily, just perform:
ALTER TRIGGER ON_LOGON_SCOTT DISABLE;

4) Suggestion: when not necessary anymore, drop the trigger instead of keeping it “disabled” forever (maybe somebody would re-enable it by mistake):
DROP TRIGGER ON_LOGON_SCOTT;

 How to trace my session :
First, get my session id :
SQL> select distinct sid from v$mystat;

       SID
----------
 29
Update the tracefile name to contains a specific word. The trace file will be more easy to identify because it would have the following format : <SID>_ora_<pid>_<my_word>.trc
SQL&gt alter session set tracefile_identifier="FMOSSE_SESSION";

Session altered.
So the trace file will have the following format : <SID>_ora_<pid>_FMOSSE_SESSION.trc Under sys user, set my session in trace mode:
SQL> exec dbms_monitor.session_trace_enable( session_id=>29, waits=>TRUE, binds=>TRUE);
Do your stuff here.. Desactivate the trace for the session :
SQL> exec dbms_monitor.session_trace_disable( session_id=>29);
Generate a more readable trace file using tkprof:
Linux> tkprof FME_ora_2270_FMOSSE_SESSION.trc  /tmp/mytrace.txt explain=sys/<passord for sys> sys=no waits=yes

Oracle11g : Monitoring table or index



To monitor a table :
SQL> ALTER TABLE <my_table> monitoring;
To monitor an index :
SQL> ALTER INDEX <my_index> monitoring;
To flush statistics in the dba monitoring table :
SQL> exec DBMS_STATS.FLUSH_DATABASE_MONITORING_INFO;
To see monitoring info in dba tables :
SQL> select * from dba_tab_modifications;
To stop monitoring, use: alter table xxxx nomonitoring;
