No SQL text in trace file on NT4 client.

I am getting a trace file back, but it has no SQL statments. i get connection msg(s), bytes to transport etc. etc. But no
select, insert, update stmts.
Here is my Sqlnet.ora file:
# Filename......: sqlnet.ora
# Name..........: tcp.db_ucu.com
# Date..........: 20-JUN-96 11:28:08
AUTOMATIC_IPC = ON
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = ADMIN
SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = 0
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = db_ucu.com
NAME.DEFAULT_ZONE = db_ucu.com
SQLNET.CRYPTO_SEED = "19243487011925150191"
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH = (TNSNAMES)
trace_directory_client = c:\orant\network\admin
trace_file_client = ora_sql.txt
Any one run into this before, i would appreciate a reply. Thanks!

OK. You don't want to be playing around in your sqlnet file to generate an ODBC trace file. If you open the ODBC Data Source Administrator, you can turn on ODBC tracing. This will generate a log file that contains all the ODBC calls that are being made as well as the arguments.

Tkprof : 0 user SQL statement in trace file

Hello!
Please explain , what is difference of tkprof-converting of user session trace file and an internal/background process ?
Get I message "0 user SQL statement in trace file" cause this difference?
In my target session I issued :
begin
sys.dbms_system.set_ev(...., .., 10046, 12, '');
end;
begin
sys.dbms_system.set_ev(..., .., 10053, 1, '');

Did you try to tkprof a 10053 trace ?
That is not going to show anything. 10053 traces are meant to be read as they are. tkprof is there to deal with 10046 traces.

Pls/sql in trace file

Hi!
The problem is appearence of pl/sql code in trace file instead of separate cursors of SQL statements. So, I can't get information about each SQL statement separatelly. What's wrong? How to separate SQL statements?
Nosorog

As Satish indicated, the "SQL*Net message from client" wait is an event which indicates that the database server was waiting for the next request from the client computer, and not an indication that the query needs to be tuned. Manually review the trace file. At one point in the trace file, you will see this wait event with an ela= value which begins with 14142 - please post to this thread that line from the trace file along with the 20 lines before that line and the 20 lines after that line. You may just have a long wait on this event at the beginning, and another long wait on this event at the end of the query.

Sql trace file

hi,
when i am analyzing sql trace file it is showing like 1 sql statement in sql trace file, 1 user sql statements are traced
enabling sql_trace=true as a sys user only.
is there any problem it is not gathering all the users sql statements.

user8647245 wrote:
yes, your right,
Sort options: default
1 session in tracefile.
1 user sql statements in trace file
0 internal sql statements in trace file
1 sql statements in trace file
like this.
user1 and scott users are connected to database.SQL session can be traced at a time for only one user i.e. one session. It you enable sql trace, During this time if you run any SQL or programs, It will gather all trace of your queries.
Your output depends on Your input i.e. which transactions/queries you have executed.
For ex:
execute dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(<sid>, <serial>, true);

Extract SQL history from 10046 trace files

Hi all,
I need to extract the complete sql history from sql trace files to "debug" a client application.
I know I can read the raw trc file and rebuild the sql history looking for the PARSING / EXEC / FETCH entries.
However, this is a very long and boring manual task: do you know if there is some free tool to automate this task?
thanks
Andrea

user585511 wrote:
I agree that the 10046 trace captures everything. If I do read the raw trc file I see the DML. The problem is that tkprof's record does not record the DML (maybe it thinks that some DML is recursive sql and it gets misleaded... I am not sure) so I am looking for an alternate tool to process 10046 trace files

How to find trace file error in form

hai all,
i have big problem in my form in apps i open the form one error is ocuured,
i got the trace file and check the error,
PARSE ERROR #82:len=2903 dep=0 uid=173 oct=3 lid=173 tim=4265689973879 err=904 this is the trace file error meassage,
how to find this error in form and also this is occured one select statement,how to find this select statement where can be used in form,
i have one button ,when ever i press the button this error is ocuured,i check this button pl/sql procedure code but in this code not using that sql statement,
if any one know to find the sql statement through trace file.
plz give the replay as soon as possible.
thank's

The newest SQL Developer can converts the trace to readable format too, I'm not shure if you see the sql statement related to the error then.
It seems you get ORA-00904 which says you use an invalid coumn in a dml statement.
Normally such error should pop up in message - do you overwrite the message handling or use exception handling in you form which block this message?
Easiest way to find this is to compile the form against the target database.
If this does not give an error, you should check, if you use dynamic sql statements which are wrong.
If you call database routines from your form, than this could be the errro cause too.

TRACE file question

I traced a user session against our TEST database to try and find out why an error is occuring. That trace file was quite large, with several queries showing up as going against SYSTEM tables:
select /*+ index(idl_sb4$ i_idl_sb41) +*/ piece#,length,piece
from
idl_sb4$ where obj#=:1 and part=:2 and version=:3 order by piece#When I traced a session against the PRODUCTION database there were far fewer entries. In fact, here were the differences:
TEST
       1 session in tracefile.
      13 user SQL statements in trace file.
     109 internal SQL statements in trace file.
     122 SQL statements in trace file.
      51 unique SQL statements in trace file.
    3964 lines in trace file.
       0 elapsed seconds in trace file.PROD
       1 session in tracefile.
      15 user SQL statements in trace file.
       3 internal SQL statements in trace file.
      18 SQL statements in trace file.
      17 unique SQL statements in trace file.
     650 lines in trace file.
       0 elapsed seconds in trace file.Why is there a difference between the two. The section of the Form throwing the error in TEST has not been changed from what's in PROD. But, I'm missing 2 user statements, one of which is the one I'm most interested in.
Thanks
-Chuck

Thank you very much, Mr. Forstmann, for your quick response.
It is really helpful. But I have one further question. Since our server space is limited and we can't keep those trace files forever. So I still need to delete inactive trace files to save some space. Could you please tell how to found out if files are open or closed in a SunOS 5.10 server?
Thanks a lot,
Shirley

3.0EA1: Trace files locked on open and not released on closing file

I have discovered that SQL Developer locks trace files when they are opened (at least on Win XP SP 3), which it doesn't do with sql or pl/sql files. Also, even after closing the file in SQL Developer, the lock isn't released - you need to close SQL Developer to release the lock to be able to move/rename/delete the trace file.

I was able to replicate this as well. I am forwarding it onto a developer to take a look at this. Thanks.

Thank you,
Sorry, I am new in Oracle and I want to get things really clear (something that is diifficult I think)
When an end user submit a query, one user process communicates the query to a server process.
The server process analyse the syntax and the symentic of the query, this known as the parse process.
The syntax of the query and the tables, columns are verified against the database buffer cache.
One PGA is allocated to store the query.
The server process read from the datafile and gets the results and store it into the shared pool.
The result is then back to the user process and then to the end user
Is it correct ?
Thank you all,
SSome of the above concepts are close. There is a nice description in the Oracle Database Concepts guide of what happens during the processing of a SQL statement (see the stages listed in the documentation):
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/sqlplsql.htm#sthref3460
It is probably a good idea to distinguish between a hard parse, a soft parse, and a session cursor cache hit:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/glossary.htm#sthref1591
The database buffer cache is not used to verify the validity of SQL statements, but instead as a means to reduce the number of disk accesses that are required to return a query result to a client computer.
One or more pieces of PGA memory may be used simultaneously while processing a SQL statement. I have a couple of blog articles that show multiple PGA memory allocations in use at the same time.
The server process may not need to access a physical data file to return the query results to a client computer, depending of course on the current contents of the buffer cache.
I recommend that you wait a while before trying to work with 10046 trace files. Right now the contents are probably providing too much detail for you, although I definitely recommend that you return to working with 10046 trace files at a later time. A good starting point is either the free Database Concepts Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220.pdf
or Tom Kyte's "Expert Oracle Database Architecture: Oracle Database Programming 9i, 10g, and 11g Techniques and Solutions, Second Edition" book. You can read my review of that book on Amazon's website:

Listener trace file: Winsock 54 errors

I am seeing many of the following error ("soc nnn error - operation=5, ntresnt[0]=517, ntresnt[1]=54...") in my Listener trace file.
This is on an Oracle 9.2.0.4 server (Windows 2003 Server R2).
If my intepretation of the Listener trace is correct, this corresponds to Winsock Error 10054 (Connection reset by peer).
SQL*net trace files at the client side (a separate host) do not indicate a corresponding error - all the trace files appear "clean".
So what is the peer in this context? My initial thought was that the Oracle server had established a session for the client, but then the client
had appeared to disappear from the network. But I would have expected to see something in the client trace files at the same time.
This is an example from the Listener trace file.

TMS Trace File (INFORMIX)

Hello Friends,
Tuxedo TMS servers built for Oracle RMs logs all the transaction
activities into a log file. Its filename starts with xa_null. This
file is very useful for debugging purposes.
Is there any way to get such a log with INFORMIX.. or is it a feature
available only in Oracle???
Thanks in advance for ur time.
regards
Manoj SASIDHARAN

Save plug-in trace file to client machine

I develop for a company who makes a web based server/client application. I am required to find a way to save the java plugin trace file on the client machine so that it doesn't get overwritten each time a client starts a new session.
I have seen the command for java 1.4 -Djavaplugin.outputfiles.overwrite=false but I can't seem to get it working for java 1.5.
I am also required to find a way to change the settings without touching or installing something on each client machine.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should look for an answer, or have any ideas on a solution.
Thanks

This is a known issue. See bug http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5066440
The bug has been fixed in jre 1.4.2_09, and in the upcoming release 1.6.0. It looks like the fix has not been ported to 1.5 release.

Should trace files contain clear text for queries?

Hi:
I've set up a JDBC connection pool in Oracle WLS 10.3.3 and want to verify that the traffic is in fact encrypted. (I am not going for authentication, just encryption). So I have turned tracing on in the server and I run an application in WLS. In the trace file I see the following:
2011-09-27 18:11:50.248292 : na_tns:Secure Network Services is available.
2011-09-27 18:11:50.248307 : nau_adi:entry
2011-09-27 18:11:50.248324 : nau_adi:exit
2011-09-27 18:11:50.248333 : na_tns:    authentication is not active
2011-09-27 18:11:50.248346 : na_tns:    encryption is active, using AES256
2011-09-27 18:11:50.248356 : na_tns:    crypto-checksumming is active, using SHA1
2011-09-27 18:11:50.248365 : na_tns:exitI am taking this to mean that in fact the application is using an encrypted JDBC connection. Later on in this file though, I see the clear text of the query (everything is clear text actually). I believe this is correct because by the time the query makes it into the trace file the DB has decrypted it and executed it. Is this correct?
Thanks.

Are you referring to the database session trace file (e.g. generated by SQL_TRACE=TRUE, event 10046, DBMS_SESSION.SESSION_TRACE_ENABLE etc) ?
What is dumped (ie. SQL statements) is always clear text. (There used to be an issue with passwords from ALTER USER commands still present in the shared pool but I believe that has been fixed so the password is not dumped in clear text).
SQLNet traffic between an Application Server and Database Server is encrypted.
