session 1:
==========
-- creating my packages

sql>conn myusr/usr@test
connected

sql> create or replace package mypkg as
procedure main;
procedure main2;
procedure main3;
procedure main4;
procedure main5;
procedure main6;
end;
/
Package Created

sql>create or replace package body mypkg as

for i in 1..100000
loop
update mytbl set mycol=myvalue where mycol2=mycond;
end loop;
end;
end;
/
Package Created

-- running the package

sql>call mypkg.main();
-- the package is in progress

session 2:
========

sql>conn sys as sysdba/mypwd@test
Connected

sql> select sql_text from v$sqltext where hash_value = (select sql_hash_value from v$session where username='myusr') order by piece;

sql_text
=======
call mypkg.main();

POINT TO NOTE: IT IS NOT SHOWING ME THE QUERY BUT THE CALL MADE TO THE PACKAGE

Session 1
========
--pressed ctrl+c to cancel the package call

sql>exec mypkg.main();
-- the package is in progress

session 2:
========

sql> select sql_text from v$sqltext where hash_value = (select sql_hash_value from v$session where username='myusr') order by piece;

sql_text
=======
update mytbl set mycol=myvalue where mycol2=mycond;

NOW, WHEN I USED "EXEC" INSTEAD OF "CALL", I CAN SEE THE SQL QUERY WHICH IS IN PROGRESS


NOW THE BEST PART


Session 1
========
--pressed ctrl+c to cancel the package call

sql>call mypkg.main();
-- the package is in progress

session 2:
========

sql> select sql_text from v$sqltext where hash_value = (select sql_hash_value from v$session where username='myusr') order by piece;

sql_text
=======
update mytbl set mycol=myvalue where mycol2=mycond;

NOW WHEN I CANCEL AND USE THE "CALL" IT SHOWS ME THE QUERY.

I HAVE TRIED VARIOUS COMBINATION & PERMUTATIONS
AND MY OBSERVATION IS THAT WHEN I USE "EXEC"...
EVEN IF I CANCEL IT IN MIDDLE ...
THEN I CAN SEE THE QUERY IN PROGRESS
AND THEREAFTER EVEN IF I USE "CALL" I CAN SEE THE QUERY

INFERENCE: There is some condition/parameter/session level setting that is getting enabled by the "EXEC"
and hence after that i can see the query in progress even when i use "CALL"

QUESTION: .. WHAT IS THAT CONDITION/PARAMETER/SETTING


Thanks in advance for your support

Instead of rating your own question (we are pretty sure you are proud of it) you should read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code (See SQL Formatter), use code tags and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
Also always post your Oracle version (4 decimals).

Use SQL*Plus and copy and paste your sessions.

Regards
Michel

Dear Michel

I am not proud of anything.. but in dire need of a solution
This issue is a severity one escalation... and we are not able to find any solution.

Have raised SR with ORACLE and awaiting their response.

the code of course is a fake one... that's because cant put the actual code on a public forum, m sure u'll understand that.

also kindly note that oracle version is already mentioned in the thread name =. "Issues with V$SQLTEXT (Oracle 10g R2)"

hope u'll not mind my naive post formatting techniques and would help me in finding the solution.

Thanks
Manu

The actual issue lies with certain packages which create bottleneck and "temporary" performance concerns on the database.

And we are only getting the Package names in production and unable to trace it to the problematic query.

While doing R&D i happen to run across this scenario.. that when i call the package with "exec" i can see the code.

But the point is.. issue comes in production and not in test...
and in production this is being called by the application

Thanks

Packages (PL/SQL) are not the bottleneck; "bad" SQL is the problem.

ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE=TRUE
process the resultant trace file with TKPROF.
The output will show which are slow running SQL & then tune them.

My bad, of course the bad sql under the package is causing the issue and we are not able to identify them...

the queries are fired by the application and not from sql prompt... nevertheless we can generate the trace on those sessions but as i said earlier the issue is shortlived and the traces are not really coming up as big help Sad

it happened 3 times in last week and we dont really have the answer to the actual issue.

it would surely be of great help if we could figure out what exactly happens by running the "EXEC" that thereafter the qry is visible in v$sqltext

Thanks for understanding
Manu

also kindly note

there are no deadlocks..no locked objects..no invalid indexes etc..no stale statistics...

we have verified the stats of all the objects referred in the pkg by the sqls!

You need to help us by following the Posting Guidelines as stated below.
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/
So we can help you.

Most applications contain hundreds (or thousands) of SELECT statements.

Assuming for the sake of this discussion you can do as you desire,
How do you identify the "bad" SQL contained within v$SQLTEXT;
as opposed the "good" SQL?

With free advice, you get what you paid for it!

Good Luck on your quest for the Golden Fleece.

OK, but what about mutex waits?
default INITRANS values can be way too small when "high" number of simultaneous users are running application.
It took me weeks to track down the lurking culprits in 1 app.

I believe the first step would be to be able to identify the currently running sqls.. there after we may be able to dig further in to see if we can trace down to the bad sql.

Nevertheless, Thanks for the best wishes Smile

i have come back to home now, tomorrow i'll paste the exact output.

No matter how weired my request seems, let me assure you its genuine.

Thank you for your "free" advice and precious time.

Easier said than done!
I believe that V$SQLTEXT holds current AND past queries.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM V$SQLTEXT WHERE PIECE = 1 AND SQL_TEXT LIKE 'SELECT%';

Please run the above on Production DB server & post the results.
