Hello Expert,

We have a procedure, which do truncate to some of the tables. Most of the time it finished in short of spam of time. But from last few days, it is taking much longer time.

Shall you please hint me, from where should i start the investigation.

Thanks.

Activate the trace on the session that executes the procedure.

the table that takes a long time has tons of dirty blocks in the cache.
when you truncate - do segment level checkpoints first - and then truncate. You are waiting for
the IO to complete.
