    The execution plan of this statement can be improved by creating one or more
    indices.
    Recommendation (estimated benefit: 71.48%)
    - Consider running the Access Advisor to improve the physical schema design
    or creating the recommended index.
    Error: Cannot fetch actions for recommendation: INDEX
    Error: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    Rationale
    Creating the recommended indices significantly improves the execution plan
    of this statement. However, it might be preferable to run "Access Advisor"
    using a representative SQL workload as opposed to a single statement. This
    will allow to get comprehensive index recommendations which takes into
    account index maintenance overhead and additional space consumption.

    Any ideas why I am getting ORA-06502 error?

  • Stucked between SQL Tuning Advisor and and SQL statement

    Hi,
    There is an important query running on my system which consists
    MEMBER OF function.
    At first place let me explain why i used MEMBER OF,
    I am sending a string( eg : #123#124#125) to query and a function converts this string into a number array.
    After then I use this number array inside my sql.
    The reason I am using this structure, in order to generate a dynamic IN statement inside my sql. (IF you have any other solution that would be great)
    The most important point is; when I put this statement to SQL Tuning Advisor the response is only ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected UDT got CHAR
    Any answer will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Solomon Yakobson wrote:
    Object oriented stuff almost never provides better performance over relational. You should stay away from MEMBER OF if performance is a factor. Instead of:
    WHERE expr MEMBER OF nested-tableI'd test:
    WHERE expr IN (SELECT column_value FROM TABLE(nested-table))SY.
    expr IN (SELECT COLUMN_VALUE FROM TABLE (CAST (v_type_number_table AS type_number_table)))worked like a charm. i hope tuning advisor will like it as i do.
    thanks.

  • Oracle 10g SQL Tuning Advisor

    I am working as a junior DBA. I tried to tune a query using SQL Tuning Advisor that is with DBMS_SQLTUNE.I have created the tuning task successfully with DBMS_SQLTUNE.create_tuning_task.But when i execute the tuning task with EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.execute_tuning_task() i got an error like

    I tried to execute DBMS_SQLTUNE as DWH user.I have granted the advisor,DROP ANY SQL PROFILE,ALTER ANY SQL PROFILE,CREATE ANY SQL PROFILE privileges and DBA roles to the DWH user.

For getting the SQL_ID i selected the SQL_ID column value for the DWH user session from v$session.I kept that query executing and meanwhile i opened another session as DWH user and created the tuning task as follows

  • Change automatic SQL Tuning Advisor time

    Hi All,
    can anyone help me in changing "automatic SQL Tuning Advisor" job timingsm because currently it is scheduled during peak hours , i want to change it to evening 6 pm daily.Because during peak hours it is taking more cpu and taking one hour.
    Wed May 08 08:00:10 2013
    Begin automatic SQL Tuning Advisor run for special tuning task "SYS_AUTO_SQL_TUNING_TASK"

    thanks
    Mapps

    Hello,
    Here's what you can do,
    Create a new window to the time you want it to run:
    EXEC dbms_scheduler.create_window(window_name => 'YOUR_WINDOW_NAME',
    duration => numtodsinterval(1, 'hour'),
    resource_plan => 'DEFAULT_MAINTENANCE_PLAN',
    repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=18;BYMINUTE=0;BYSECOND=0');>
    The above window would be in effect from 6 pm to 7 pm.
    Then, disable automatic sql_tuning and then re-enable it to run on the window you just created:
    EXEC DBMS_AUTO_TASK_ADMIN.DISABLE(client_name => 'sql tuning advisor',
    operation => NULL,
    window_name => NULL);>
    and now set it to run to your window:
    EXEC DBMS_AUTO_TASK_ADMIN.ENABLE(client_name => 'sql tuning advisor',
    operation => NULL,
    window_name => 'YOUR_WINDOW_NAME');

    can you run sql tunning advisor against running session?
    >
    SQL Tuning Advisor is run on statements and not sessions. I don't do much with SQL Tuning Advisor, but I'd consider that current running sessions a lost cause until it completes or you kill it. You can see the "estimate" of how long that current running SQL is going to take in v$session_longops. You can use a script like Tanel's sw.sql
    http://blog.tanelpoder.com/2008/01/08/updated-session-wait-script/
    to see what the wait interface has to say.
    >

    My approach for this would be to determine what the current explain plan is and compare it to one that ran (correctly) in the past and then try to determine why it changed. (bad stats, dropped index, parameter changes, etc).

  • SQL Tuning Advisor  Recommends New Explain Plan

    Hi:
    I have to believe this has been asked before but didn't see it in a forum search so I'll ask here. I had SQL Tuning Advisor look at a query and it is recommending a new plan for a 50+% improvement (hazah!). The trouble is, I don't want Oracle to re-write the plan to execute the query better, I want to know how I can re-write the query to generate that more optimal plan in the first place because I have similar systems in the field that I would like to also be optimized. What are my options?
    Thanks.

  • Enterprise Manager - sql tuning advisor , Access advisor for SQL Tuning

    Hi,
    NO I mean in oracle 10g you have the enterprise manager which can be used to tune sql statements using the SQL ADvisor and SQL access advisor.
    I believe in oracle 10g the process of SQL Tuning is slightly easier using the Enterprise Manager ...so if some one could explain me that process...
    Again thanking you in advance

    Manoj Gokhale

    Hi Manoj,
    tune sql statements using the SQL ADvisor and SQL access advisor.Do you have the OEM extra cost "performance pack"?
    The OEM screens are fairly self-explainatory, but here are some references on the 10 SQL tuning advisors:
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/AutomaticSQLTuning10g.php

  • Differernce between SQL Tuning Pack and SQL Tuning Advisor, Access Advisor

    Hi. all.
    I have been using "TKPROF" in order to tune SQL till now.
    I am learning 10g, and would like to know the difference
    between "1. SQL Tuning Pack" and "2. SQL Tuning Advisor, Access Advisor".
    Are they same thing? If not, what are the differences in their "functionality"?
    All I know is that SQL Tuning Pack is not free, and SQL Tuning Advisor
    is packed with default installation. Right???
    Could you give me some html links or your "any advice and experience"?
    Thanks in advance. Have a good day.
    Best Regards.

    Hi,
    There are alternatives to the Oracle tuning packs, and remember the SQL advisors are relatuively simple, finding missing indexes and recommending MV's.
    A human can do a better job if you use the right techniques.
    BTW, you can get a SQLTuning advisor license online for only $3k:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_news/2005_3_17_dql_tuning_access_advisor_licenses_available_online.htm
    SHAMELESS PITCH! - I wrote a book that describes techniques for tuning with scripts, instead of the advisors, if you are interested:

    Hope this helps. . . .

  • Feature option request - SQL Tuning Advisor

    Hi,
    Love the ability we can run SQL Tuning Advisor so easily in SQL Developer, this is how it should be simple. However we can not specify a few parameter like: time_limit, task_name and description. Would be helpful to have these options, especially increasing the time_limit option!

    At least the limit will be increased: 3.0 Tuning Advisor Times Out

  • [OCP exam] doubt about Automatic SQL Tuning Advisor

    Hi,
    Sorry for my poor english.
    I am currently preparing for the OCP  11g exam.
    For that, I have bought some training tools  to help me prepare the exam.
    But, in the chapter related to the SQL tuning advisor, some explanation really confuse me .
    Extract :
    <<
    the SQL automatic tuning  job runs every night during the maintenance window.
    By default, the job makes SQL profile recommendations, tests them, and automatically implements them if they provide better performance improvement)
    >>
    I was persuaded it was the opposite.
    I check several databases/documentation, and it's seems to be always the opposite.
    By default,new sql profile are tested but not implemented automatically (you have to set a parameter ACCEPT_SQL_PROFILES TO TRUE to activate this option)
    But the exam is validated on oracle 11.2.0.1, and I only have 11.2.0.2/11.2.0.3 db available.
    So may be oracle changed the value of the default parameter in the new releases.
    Can someone confirm if I am right or not ?

    I would rather accept what is in the documentation:
    "If a SQL profile is recommended, the database tests the new profile by executing the SQL statement both with and without the profile. If the performance improvement improves at least threefold, then the database accepts the SQL profile, but only if the ACCEPT_SQL_PROFILES task parameter is set to TRUE. Otherwise, the automatic SQL tuning reports merely report the recommendation to create a SQL profile." Automatic SQL Tuning
    "If automatic implementation of SQL profiles is enabled (the default is disabled), then the database implements any SQL profiles that promise a great performance benefit. The implementation occurs at tuning time so that the database can immediately benefit from the new plan. You can enable or disable automatic implementation by using the SET_AUTO_TUNING_TASK_PARAMETER API to set the ACCEPT_SQL_PROFILES parameter." DBMS_AUTO_SQLTUNE

  • SQL tuning advisor recommnds to create SYS_OP_C2C function based index

    I have a large table and one index on it. I use some tool to populate data, this tool simple submits the sql to Oracle DB and it does NOT use use index for queries. When I run the sql tuning advisor it recommends to create additional index and use SYS_OP_C2C function, which I do not want.
    When I run the query via sql plus it picks up the index.
    Have any of you come across, why its recommending this additional non-sense?
    create index abc.xxxx on this_table(SYS_OP_C2C("this_column"));
    Thanks

    The internal Oracle function SYS_OP_C2C performs conversion from one character set to another character set - C(haracterSet)2C(haracterSet). There are situations when one will see this conversion going on without explicit command as in this case what should be a sign that the data types are not the same and implicit conversion is taking place and this might be also a problem from performance perspective as it may disable index usage.
    Make sure you the characterset and nls defined of any of the database and tool are same.
    Make sure the data type of the column on the index is same as database.
    Confirm with ETL vendor for your database support and any patches etc.
    Optimizer will only advise to use that function when characterset or data type does not match.
    Thanks,
    TaraChand

    Simply saying if i apply that profile i will get Good plan.But I want to change the SQL itself rather than applying profile.in that case what can be done.Automatic SQL Tuning deals with this problem with its SQL Profiling capability. The Automatic Tuning Optimizer creates a profile of the SQL statement called a SQL Profile, consisting of auxiliary statistics specific to that statement. The query optimizer under normal mode makes estimates about cardinality, selectivity, and cost that can sometimes be off by a significant amount resulting in poor execution plans. SQL Profile addresses this problem by collecting additional information using sampling and partial execution techniques to verify and, if necessary, adjust these estimates.During SQL Profiling, the Automatic Tuning Optimizer also uses execution history information of the SQL statement to appropriately set optimizer parameter settings, such as changing the OPTIMIZER_MODE initialization parameter setting from ALL_ROWS to FIRST_ROWS for that SQL statement.
    If you want to change the SQL, You can re-write the SQL and evaluate the Performance recommendations SQL tuning Advisor.
