Subject: RE: Distinguising one SQL execution from another

I know that I can get all of this from 10046 traces, including the = recursive
SQL. I've been using them for years and thanks to Cary and others, I = know
how to interpret them pretty well. The issue is that gathering these = traces
is expensive - you can't expect to run them all of the time and = certainly
not for all sessions on a production database. What I'm not convinced = of
yet is that this is the only way to get the information I'm looking for.

What I'm looking for is a light weight method to get a rough idea of how much time (elapsed and CPU) each session spends executing (broken out by parse, execute and fetch if I can get it) each SQL statement it submits, taking recursive SQL into account. This would be a monitor that runs continuously on heavily loaded production systems. 10046 traces do not = fit
the bill.

I'd like to be able to do this with SQL against V$ and/or X$ tables, but = I'd
consider using a direct SGA attach method such as described by Kyle = Hailey.
I just need to know where to look in the SGA for the information.

Hi John,

I think we agree this can be obtained _only_ from a 10046. The issue = still
is that you will need to turn on/off the trace for all such sessions and spend time collecting/analyzing the trace files. A 10046 trace even = covers
recursive SQL btw. I agree - what we need is a tool that can parse a = bunch
of tracefiles and spit out that figures you want - not impossible, given that we have the likes of Perl, but just too much to analyze...

Let us know if you get to do this!
John
