I need to work on Automatic sql tuning..
Please give suggestion for the below
1) I have installed oracle11g client version. confirm this is okey for my project. because i heard we should have oracle enterprise edition for this.
2) User with only sys privelage can work on this automatic sql tuning using sql tuning advisior tool.
Please clarify above suggestions.
ALso suggest me best way to proceed further

[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

Additional licenses reuired for using Sql Tuning Advisor In SQL Developer 4.0.3

Hi,
We have Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0. Do we need to purchase an additional oracle license for using SQL Tuning Advisor Option in SQL Developer 4.0.3

We have Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0. Do we need to purchase an additional oracle license for using SQL Tuning Advisor Option in SQL Developer 4.0.3
The Oracle Tuning Pack is DATABASE functionality - it is part of the database. Sql Developer just uses it.
Yes - to use ANY of the features of the tuning pack requires an extra cost license.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/license.111/b28287/options.htm#CIHFIHFG
Oracle Tuning Pack
The Oracle Tuning Pack provides database administrators with expert performance management for the Oracle environment, including SQL tuning and storage optimizations. The Oracle Diagnostic Pack is a prerequisite product to the Oracle Tuning Pack. Therefore, to use the Tuning Pack, you must also have a Diagnostic Pack.
The Tuning Pack includes the following features:
SQL Access Advisor
SQL Tuning Advisor
Automatic SQL Tuning
SQL Tuning Sets
SQL Monitoring
Reorganize objects
In order to use the features listed above, you must purchase licenses for the Tuning Pack, with one exception: SQL Tuning Sets can be used if you have licensed either the Tuning Pack or Oracle Real Application Testing. A new initialization parameter, CONTROL_MANAGEMENT_PACK_ACCESS, is introduced to control access to the Diagnostic Pack and Tuning Pack in the database server. This parameter can be set to one of three values:
DIAGNOSTIC+TUNING: Diagnostic Pack and Tuning Pack functionally is enabled in the database server.
DIAGNOSTIC: Only Diagnostic Pack functionality is enabled in the server.
NONE: Diagnostic Pack and Tuning pack functionally is disabled in the database server.
The Tuning Pack functionality can be accessed by the Enterprise Manager links as well as through the database server command-line APIs. The use of either interface requires licensing of the Tuning Pack

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"

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');

SQL Tuning Advisor evaluates statement using wrong plan_hash_value

The execution plan for one of my SQL statements changed this morning. The statement is in a third-party package. The new plan runs worse than the old plan. I had the SQL tuning advisor evaluate the statement. I ran it three times. Each time it evaluated the original plan, not the new one. I can tell that because the plan_hash_value shown in the advisor's recommendations is the old plan's plan_hash_value. The old plan no longer appears in DBA_HIST_SQL_PLAN. I do not understand why the advisor is using the original plan, nor where it is getting it. It does not show up in Oracle Enterprise Manager either.
Has anyone see this before?
Do you have any suggestions how I can force the advisor to evaluate the new execution plan?
I am running Oracle Database Server 10gR2 Enterprise Edition.
Thanks,
Bill

Following advice given earlier, I ran the SQL Tuning Advisor by executing DBMS_SQLTUNE from within a SQL*Plus session instead of via Oracle Enterprise Manager. The problem I originally encountered in OEM also happened using DBMS_SQLTUNE. Using DBMS_SQLTUNE I specified plan_hash_value => '3657286666' but the results of running create_tuning_task shows that the utility used a different plan_hash_value. See below:
Based on this, I think the problem I originally blamed on OEM's creation of a SQL Tuning Advisor job was misdirected. I now believe that OEM supplied the proper information to the advisor, but the advisor did not correctly use what is was given.
Below is what I submitted when I ran create_tuning_task and execute_tuning_task. Note that the value assigned to plan_hash_value is 3657286666. Following the messages from execute_tuning_task, see the output produced by the execution of report_tuning_task. In EXPLAIN PLANS SECTION heading 1 - ORIGINAL, note that Plan Hash Value = 3541843898.
I submitted instructions to use plan_hash_value 3657286666 but instead it used 3541843898. Why did it do this??????
I have not found a published bug that describes this condition.
Thanks,
Bill

FINDINGS SECTION (1 finding)
1- Index Finding (see explain plans section below)
The execution plan of this statement can be improved by creating one or more
indices.
Recommendation (estimated benefit: 100%)
- Consider running the Access Advisor to improve the physical schema design
or creating the recommended index.
create index EXPTEST.IDX$$_1AE6E0001 on
EXPTEST.SERVICE_EVENTS('EQ_NBR','ASSOC_EQ_NBR');
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.

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,

What is this SQL Tuning Advisor's Advice means

HI ,
I am Tuning a query wit hthe help of ORACLE 10 g 's SQL Tuning Advisor.I got the following recommendation .
**Consider removing the disconnected table or view from this statement or add a join condition which refers to it.**
I didn't understand what does this mean.
Can anyone please help me
Thanks,
Pramod.
Edited by: Pramod Garre on Jul 15, 2009 6:20 AM

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.

SQL Tuning Advisor (STA) recommends indexes that already exists?

I have enabled the STA to run twice a week, while we are going live with a new application in a new database. I want to insure we have good performance as the load goes up. I was not involved in the original design, which there not not much of, I've discovered. Since we are licensed for it, it seemed like a safe thing to turn on.
The STA ran last night and the report tells me it looked at 736 SQLs with findings, 143 without findings, and skipped 0.
What puzzles me is that, in the "Statistics Finding Summary", it's reporting stale stats on some tables which I know are up to date, as I ran stats on them yesterday and there were no updates to them.
Worse, in the "Index Finding Summary", it reports indexes needed that already do, in fact, exist.
Is there some reason for this? Is there some way to get the STA to be aware of these and avoid the erroneous findings so that I can concentrate on real ones?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

SQL Tuning Advisor says I have old statistics but they were collected today

Hi all,
Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 64-bit
Win 2003 Standard Edition 64-bit
I was looking at some problem code of ours earlier through Enterprise Manager, and decided to use the advisor to see what it recommended about one statement. (Apologies at this point for being 100% on the name of the advisor as I am working in Spanish, but I guess it may be "SQL Tuning Advisor"?)
The recommendations were all to do with gathering optimizer statistics on the various tables and indexes involved as they were "out-dated". I have checked the LAST_ANALYZED columns in DBA_TABLES and they were collected automatically, as always, at 0230 today. The advisor task was run at about 1030.
Has anyone else seen this? Is it a bug? Or is the advisor very intelligent and suggesting that the data in the tables has changed dramatically since 0230 this morning and that yes, those stats really need collecting again?
Regards,
Ados

Hi Niall,
Thanks for replying. My guess was that it was probably doing something based on how much the content of the table had changed, but I didn't know about the 10% threshold. Thanks for that.
However, would it be looking in the STALE_STATS column in ALL/DBA_TAB_STATISTICS and ALL/DBA_IND_STATISTICS to see this?
(This is how I woud do it, however I am a mere mortal, unlike the Oracle advisor.. )
I checked there already and all of the tables and indexes in question have the value "NO".
So I still don't get it

SQL Tuning Advisor on a specific SQL statement

Hi all,
How can I used SQL Tuning Advisor in Oracle EM Database Control to tune a specific SQL statement; i.e. the statement is not any of: Top SQL, SQL Tuning Sets, Snapshots Preserved Snapshot Sets.
Thanks in advance,
Ahmed B.

Hi,
You can use either the automatic SQL tuning features that are accessible from Enterprise Manager Database Console on the "Advisor Central" page or trough SQL*PLUS using the DBMS_SQLTUNE pakage:
-- creating the tuning task
set serveroutput on
declare
l_sql_tune_task_id varchar2(100);
begin
l_sql_tune_task_id := dbms_sqltune.create_tuning_task (
                          sql_id      => '<your_sql_id>',
                          scope       => dbms_sqltune.scope_comprehensive,
                          time_limit => 60,
                          task_name   => '<your_tuning_task_name>',
                          description => 'tuning task for statement your_sql_id.');
dbms_output.put_line('l_sql_tune_task_id: ' || l_sql_tune_task_id);
end;
-- executing the tuning task
exec dbms_sqltune.execute_tuning_task(task_name => '<your_tuning_task_name>');
-- displaying the recommendations
set long 100000;
set longchunksize 1000
set pagesize 10000
set linesize 100
select dbms_sqltune.report_tuning_task('<your_tuning_task_name>') as recommendations from dual;For more information, take a look at link provided by Jaffy.

SQL Tuning Advisor reports in EM10g Grid

Is there a quick way to get the Recommendations from SQL Tuning Advisor into a formatted HTML report, similar to the ones in EM 9.2?
This is a useful tool for reporting problems to Developers, but only if you can get a report off.
Thanks
Steve

You can copy the result and paste into Word Document, then save as HTML.
Also you can (be very carefull with this depending on which users) create Oracle/EM Users, that only have with limited access privileges to View Monitor reports. Then copy and send the URL of the completed Report Recommendations to them via email. When they click on it, it will prompt them for EM username and password, then Oracle User Name and Password.

SQL tuning Advisor for old statements

Hi all,
i've identified SQL ID (through snapshots AWR) that make me performance problem. This is a old select statement (Mar 10, 2008) and when i try to run sql tuning advisor, it shows me this error:
"There was a problem creating a SQL tuning task. ORA-13780: SQL statement does not exist. ORA-06512"
I've set AWR for retain 60 days of Snapshot Retention, why i can't run tuning advisor for this statement??
thanks very much for answers.
Andrea

Hi
The problem is that the information of AWR is based on Historical information that Oracle retrieve of historical tables . AWR means Automatic Workload Repository.
But when you execute the SQL tuning advisor task, Oracle needs retrieve the information of sql statement from SHARED POOL.
The Library Cache is a part of Shared pool and contains an area named SQLAREA that stored information of execution plan for sql statements. This memory area is managed by LRU alghoritm.(last recently used) and the error is produced because this sql statement not is stored in this memory area.
When the sql stament not reside in memory Oracle can't build the execution plan and then the error appear

Need help to debug SQL Tuning Advisor Error Message

Hi,
I am getting an error message while try to get recommendations from the SQL Tuning Advisor.
Environment:

FINDINGS SECTION (1 finding)
1- Index Finding (see explain plans section below)
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.
snippet
Any ideas why I am getting ORA-06502 error?
Thanks in advance
