SQL Trace in Oracle

Hello,
I am a Software Engineer using Oracle 9i Client. We have a website which is using ASP at front-end,Oracle as a back-end and some dll which is created in VC++. This dll will interact with oracle. When the ASP pages gets executed, it will execute the dll which in turn execute the oracle SQL's. So, I want to see SQL statements which are executed in Oracle. This type of feature is available in MS SQL Server 2000 tool called Profiler.
Thanks

  • How to look at the SQL trace in Oracle

    Hi,
    How do we look for the SQL trace in Oracle?
    With SQL trace I mean all the SQL statements being executed in Oracle database ( including select ).
    Thanks........

    Thanks for a quick reply nbellam. I wonder if there is a way to find out the date and time when the sql was executed?

  • Generate Sql Trace in oracle reports

    Hi,
    My Reports version is 10.1.2.0.2 and I would like to see the trace files of the sql queries that are executed while generating a report using rwbuilder.
    I tried using a Formula column, with
    SRW.DO_SQL('ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE=TRUE');
    return(1);
    Also, I enable system level trace to capture anything and everything that is being fired into DB from reports.
    I tried,
    ksh rwthinclient.sh report=$REPORT_FILE_PATH/Journal.rdf server=$REPORT_SERVER userid=$ORAUSERID/$ORAPASSWD@$REPORT_DATABASE destype=cache desformat=pdf TRACEFILE=ver1.trc TRACEOPTS=trace_all TRACEMODE=trace_replace RUN_DATE=$CurDate;
    I do not get trace at all. Kindly help me out.

    Using shared directory. Use the parameters dump to point to it
    is it possible to create them on client side instead?
    No
    . :-) any help with my english is wellcome :-) .does this mean sharing user_dump destination at linux level and then mounting it from client machines ( win xp )?is there any doc on this?

  • What is SQL Trace and How to Use it .

    Dear Experts .
    1.) May You Please tell me What is the Purpose of SQL-Trace and How to use it ?
    2.) What is purpose of T-codes SE30 and ST22 ?
    Please it is urgent ...
    Regards :  Rajneesh

    Hi
    SQL Trace transaction ST05: The trace list has many lines that are not related to the SELECT statement in the ABAP program. This is because the execution of any ABAP program requires additional administrative SQL calls. To restrict the list output, use the filter introducing the trace list.
    The trace list contains different SQL statements simultaneously related to the one SELECT statement in the ABAP program. This is because the R/3 Database Interface - a sophisticated component of the R/3 Application Server - maps every Open SQL statement to one or a series of physical database calls and brings it to execution. This mapping, crucial to R/3s performance, depends on the particular call and database system. For example, the SELECT-ENDSELECT loop on a particular database table of the ABAP program would be mapped to a sequence PREPARE-OPEN-FETCH of physical calls in an Oracle environment.
    The WHERE clause in the trace list's SQL statement is different from the WHERE clause in the ABAP statement. This is because in an R/3 system, a client is a self-contained unit with separate master records and its own set of table data (in commercial, organizational, and technical terms). With ABAP, every Open SQL statement automatically executes within the correct client environment. For this reason, a condition with the actual client code is added to every WHERE clause if a client field is a component of the searched table.
    To see a statement's execution plan, just position the cursor on the PREPARE statement and choose Explain SQL. A detailed explanation of the execution plan depends on the database system in use.
    Run time analysis transaction SE30 :This transaction gives all the analysis of an ABAP program with respect to the database and the non-database processing. 
    STEPS
    Run time analysis transaction SE30
    In Transaction SE30, fill in the transaction name or the program name which needs to be analyzed for performance tuning.
    For our case, let this be “ZABAP_PERF_TUNING”
    After giving the required inputs to the program, execute it. After the final output list has been displayed, PRESS the “BACK” button.
    On the original SE30 screen, now click on “ANALYZE” button.
    The percentage across each of the areas ABAP/ Database/System shows the percentage of total time used for those areas and load on these areas while running the program . The lesser the database load faster the program runs.
    SQL Trace – ST05
    Starting the Trace:
    To analyze a trace file, do the following:
    Choose the menu path Test  Performance Trace in the ABAP Workbench or go to Transaction ST05. The initial screen of the test tool appears. In the lower part of the screen, the status of the Performance Trace is displayed. This provides you with information as to whether any of the Performance Traces are switched on and the users for which they are enabled. It also tells you which user has switched the trace on.
    Using the selection buttons provided, set which trace functions you wish to have switched on (SWL trace, enqueue trace, RFC trace, table buffer trace).
    If you want to switch on the trace under your user name, choose Trace on. If you want to pass on values for one or several filter criteria, choose Trace with Filter.
    Typical filter criteria are: the name of the user, transaction name, process name, and program name.
    Now run the program to be analyzed.
    Stopping the Trace:
    To deactivate the trace:
    Choose Test Performance Trace in the ABAP Workbench. The initial screen of the test tool appears. It contains a status line displaying the traces that are active, the users for whom they are active, and the user who activated them.
    Select the trace functions that you want to switch off.
    Choose Deactivate Trace. If you started the trace yourself, you can now switch it off immediately. If the performance trace was started by a different user, a confirmation prompt appears before deactivation-
    Analyzing a Sample trace data: PREPARE: Prepares the OPEN statement for use and determines the access method.
    OPEN: Opens the cursor and specifies the selection result by filling the selection fields with concrete values.
    FETCH: Moves the cursor through the dataset created by the OPEN operation. The array size displayed beside the fetch data means that the system can transfer a maximum package size of 392 records at one time into the buffered area.

  • OCCI/ODBC application sql trace failure...

    Hi,
    I was doing the sql*net trace for an OCCI/ODBC Application writen in c++. I have an InstantClient on my PC. I was trying to access the Oracle through my C++ program to
    compare the performance of OCCI and ODBC.
    I was using the Oracle 10g(ver10.2.0.1.0 ), Oracle instant cilent(win32-10.2.0.3-20061115), and VS 8.0.
    TNSNAMES.ora:

    The sqlnet.ora file was writen to trace the client sql. Fortunately, my C++ program can access the oracle and get my result back successfully. In the same time, the trace files
    can be created, but when using the tkprof tool to explain it, it comes to the file with useless information.
    One of the *.trc file explaind by tkprof tool:
    Sort options: default
    count = number of times OCI procedure was executed
    cpu = cpu time in seconds executing
    elapsed = elapsed time in seconds executing
    disk = number of physical reads of buffers from disk
    query = number of buffers gotten for consistent read
    current = number of buffers gotten in current mode (usually for update)
    rows = number of rows processed by the fetch or execute call
    Trace file: ora21763.trc
    Trace file compatibility: 8.00.04
    Sort options: default
    1 session in tracefile.
    0 user SQL statements in trace file.
    0 internal SQL statements in trace file.
    0 SQL statements in trace file.
    0 unique SQL statements in trace file.
    327 lines in trace file.
    Finally, I got TNS-12518 TNS-12564 error. I tried to add DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=OFF, but it didnt work. I traced the listener, the error occured in the listener.trc "
    ntt2err: soc 464 error " and " nsbequeath: error reading REDIR/NSE msg".
    I just cann't get the right trace file and cann't sovle the two errors(TNS-12518 TNS-12564). Can somebody give me some advices, please.

    Hi,
    The TKPROF facility accepts as input an SQL trace file generated when SQL Trace has been turned on for the system or a session, not a SQL*NET trace file. A SQL*Net trace file is a dump of raw data packets and communications at the SQL*NET layer. If you want to get performance statistics from SQL beign executed by your application, then you need to turn on SQL Trace not SQL*MET tracing.
    To enable SQL trace at the system level, you need to execute:
    alter system set SQL_TRACE=TRUE
    The NS-12518 TNS-12564 normally means you are running into some sort of resource deletion issue. This can be caused by various things. Make sure you are properly cleaning up and closing sessions in your application.
    Are you performing some sort of stress test or have you just written a Multi-threaded test harness that executes different types of SQL with OCCI/ODBC?
    HTH

  • Help! how to check the SQL run in Oracle?

    Hi all,
    I have a problem. the developer said the SQL written in Java code are not the one executed in Oracle DB. that mean the query is some how manipulated by some PL/SQL so the final query run in Oracle is different. So can someone teach me how to check the actual SQL run in Oracle?
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards,
    Jason

    Hi Michel Thanks. But it looks like the query stored in v$sqlarea is not the final executable SQL. for example, the code in application is "select column_A from default_table where column_A = ?" and this ? will be given some value in run time. the query stored in v$sqlarea will be like "select column_A from default_table where column_A = :1"... what is this :1?
    Also if some PL/SQL procedure appends some condition to the SQL, is it possible to view the full query from database side?
    ok, let me try trace and tkprof first.

  • SQL TRACE for WEB deployed report

    When I put
    Alter Session Set sql_trace=TRUE
    into the BEFORE Parameter Form trigger...
    I get a trace file showing data on the one SQL in that trigger.
    There is no TRACE output of the main query or any of the PL/SQL in the Program Units.
    The report is invoked from company-wide intra-net.
    I think it is Oracle Apps running in Linux server.
    What am I doing wrong?
    PS
    I cannot execute this report from Report Builder.

    Hello,
    Just a remark : if you are using Reports 9.0.4 / 10.1.2, you don't have to modify the reports , you can activate the SQL trace with the parameter SQLTRACE=YES

  • SQL performance slow -- oracle 10g to oracle 11g

    Hi,
    We are have two development server, here we can call server10 and server11.
    Server’s having same hardware and OS, but different oracle version, server 10 and server 11 having oracle 10g and oracle 11g respectively.
    Problem, when you run sql query in oracle 11g it’s very slow compare to oracle 10g server.
    Here I have checked
    1)     sga size – comparatively 11g size is big
    2)     no full table scan
    OS – SUN
    DB: 11.1.0.7.0, 10.2.0.4.0

Please try to post the tkprof output of the trace of both. The reason for this that explain plan may lie to us about what has happened but trace would be the real picture only.

  • SQL Trace and Bind Values

    I need to capture bind values in SQL Trace. I am running Oracle 9.2.0.8. I will be running my queries from an application, not SQL Plus. I can use a after log on trigger to turn on trace. Has anyone done this with success? Are there any other ways to do this at the server level?
    Thank you for your input
    David

    Hello David,
    it is such easy ... you wouldn't believe it.
    Have a look at the pl/sql procedure "dbms_system.set_ev", with this one you can do this on session level: http://www.oracleadvice.com/Tips/dbms_system.htm#SET_EV
    There are also some other possibilities... but this should hit your question..
    To turn on:
    SQL> exec dbms_system.set_ev(<SID>, <SERIAL>, 10046, 12, '');
    To turn off:
    SQL> exec dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(<SID>, <SERIAL>, FALSE);

    Hi,
    i did the homework, but some how i dont seem to understand what oracle is doing behind
    esp with hints like
    select /*+ leading(v1 v2) use_nl_with_index(v2) */ count(v1.val)
    /*+ no_parallel(t) no_parallel_index(t) dbms_stats
      cursor_sharing_exact use_weak_name_resl dynamic_sampling(0) no_monitoring
    substrb(dump(min("XXX"),16,0,32),1,120),
      substrb(dump(max("XXX"),16,0,32),1,120),i havent used this things any where in my program, but still they are used,
    so i got confused, can you throw some light on this issue,
    regards

  • Bind variables in DB Connect SQL Statement in Oracle

    We are looking for ways to improve performance of DB Connect extract from an Oracle database.
    An example command that is created by the Info-Package using a DB-Connect:
    Current
    SELECT "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H"
    FROM "GSF_BW"."V_BW_FORCAST_FACT"
    WHERE ("A" = '200904') AND ("B" BETWEEN '100801' AND '101412')
    The calculated cost (calculated by Oracle Optimizer) is 25.145
    Oracle recommends the usage of bind-variables.
    In that case the Statement would need to look like:
    SELECT "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H"
    FROM "GSF_BW"."V_BW_FORCAST_FACT"
    WHERE ("PG0R_SUBD" = :b1) AND ("ZCALMONTH" BETWEEN :b2 AND :b3)
    This would reduce the cost to 11.000 which is 40% of the statement before.
    My question now is: Can anything be done to influence the generation of the SQL statement to make it better performing?

    Hi,
    It is always better to test yourself. Using bind variable is always a good practice and optimizer avoids hard parsing (soft parsing will be done here) if bind variables are used.
    So yes, if this function is being executed several times frequently then second execution onwards it may run faster.
    If you want to see actually what is happening behind it, trace it (using tkprof) and see the result.
    See the below link to know more about SQL TRACE and tkprof.

  • SQL Trace and TKprof

    Hello,
    Can someone tell me what is SQL trance and TKprof?
    when we will apply and what need of this?
    why i should give alter session set sql trace = true?
    if someone could give me an idea of what is a TKprof do, would be apprecaited.

    if someone could give me an idea of what is a TKprof doThe doc has an idea : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/sqltrace.htm#PFGRF01010
