Overview

Statspack is a set of SQL, PL/SQL and SQL*Plus scripts which allow the collection, automation, storage and viewing of performance data. A user, PERFSTAT, is automatically created by the installation; owns all objects needed by this package. This user is granted limited query-only privileges on the V$views required for performance tuning. A Statspack report is generated from two snapshots, which is nothing but a collection of contents from various dynamic performance tables. In general, it is recommended to get the snapshots intervals be 15 minutes in length. This allows fine-grained reporting when hangs are suspected/detected. Following is the compilation from metalink document. The statspack report shown here is generated on a machine, which has resources way lower than the minimum requirements to install Oracle10g, dont get carried away by the negative and advisory numbers; this report was pulled out of 10gr2 (10.2.0.4) database.

Timed_statistics must be set to true prior to the creation of a snapshot. If it is not, the data within statspack will not be relevant. You can tell if timed_statistics was not set by looking at the total times columns in the report. If these are zero then timed_statistics was not set.

Snapshots during which the instance was recycled will not contain accurate information and should not be included in a statspack report.

When a value is too large for the statspack field it will be represented by a series of pound signs such as #######. Should this occur and you need to see the value in the field you will need to decrease the number of snapshots in the report until the field can be read. Should there only be one snapshot in the report, then you will need to decrease the snapshot interval.

Summary Information

This part of the report is completely informational – It shows the database name, id, instance name, instance number, time the database was last started, Oracle binary release information, whether the instance is RAC or not, host name, number of CPUs in the host, amount of total physical memory available in the box, snapshort interval information like begin and end time and total elapsed time between two snaps.

Cache Information

This section provides information on buffer cache, shared pool size, std block size (indicates the primary blocksize of the instance) and log buffer size. Note that the buffer cache size is that of the standard buffer cache. If you have multiple buffer caches, you will need to calculate the others separately.

Where:

  • Redo size: This is the amount of redo generated during this report.
  • Logical Reads: This is calculated as Consistent Gets + DB Block Gets = Logical Reads
  • Block changes: The number of blocks modified during the sample interval
  • Physical Reads: The number of requests for a block that caused a physical I/O.
  • Physical Writes: The number of physical writes issued.
  • User Calls: The number of queries generated
  • Parses: Total of all parses: both hard and soft
  • Hard Parses: Those parses requiring a completely new parse of the SQL statement. These consume both latches and shared pool area.
  • Soft Parses: Not listed but derived by subtracting the hard parses from parses. A soft parse reuses a previous hard parse and hence consumes far fewer resources.
  • Sorts, Logons, Executes and Transactions are all self explanatory

Instance Efficiency Percentages

Hit ratios are calculations that may provide information regarding different structures and operations in the Oracle instance. Database tuning never must be driven by hit ratios. They only provide additional information to understand how the instance is operating. For example, in a DSS systems a low cache hit ratio may be acceptable due the amount of recycling needed due the large volume of data accesed. So if you increase the size of the buffer cache based on this number, the corrective action may not take affect and you may be wasting memory resources

Top 5 Timed Events

This section shows the Top 5 timed events that must be considered to focus the tuning efforts. Before Oracle 9.2 this section was called “Top 5 Wait Events”. It was renamed in Oracle 9.2 to “Top 5 Timed Events” to include the “CPU Time” based on the ‘CPU used by this session’. This information will allow you to determine SQL tuning problems.

Examples of background system processes are LGWR and DBWR. An example of a non-system background process would be a parallel query slave. Note that it is possible for a wait event to appear in both the foreground and background wait events statistics. Examples of this are the enqueue and latch free events. The idle wait events appear at the bottom of both sections and can generally safely be ignored. Typically these type of events keep record of the time while the client is connected to the database but not requests are being made to the server.

  • The idle wait events associated with pipes are often a major source of concern for some DBAs. Pipe gets and waits are entirely application dependent.
  • global cache cr request: (OPS) This wait event shows the amount of time that an instance has waited for a requested data block for a consistent read and the transferred block has not yet arrived at the requesting instance.
  • Buffer busy waits, write complete waits, db file parallel writes and enqueue waits: If all of these are in the top wait events the client may be experiencing disk saturation.
  • log file switch, log file sync or log switch/archive: If the waits on these events appears excessive check for checkpoint tuning issues.
  • write complete waits, free buffer waits or buffer busy waits: If any of these wait events is high, the buffer cache may need tuning.
  • latch free: If high, the latch free wait event indicates that there was contention on one or more of the primary latches used by the instance.

Wait Event Histogram

The total wait events are bucketed as <1ms, <2ms, <4ms, <8ms, <16ms, <32ms, <=1s and >1s

SQL Information

The SQL that is stored in the shared pool SQL area (Library cache) is reported to the user via

  • SQL ordered by Buffer Gets

This section reports the contents of the SQL area ordered by the number of buffer gets and can be used to identify CPU Heavy SQL. The statements of interest are those with a large number of gets per execution especially if the number of executions is high. High buffer gets generally correlates with heavy CPU usage.

------------     ------------ -------------- ------ -------- --------- ----------
  • SQL ordered by Reads

This section reports the contents of the SQL area ordered by the number of reads from the data files and can be used to identify SQL causing IO bottlenecks which consume the following resources.

- CPU time needed to fetch unnecessary data.

- File IO resources to fetch unnecessary data.

- Buffer resources to hold unnecessary data.

- Additional CPU time to process the query once the data is retrieved into the buffer.

  • SQL ordered by Executions

This section reports the contents of the SQL area ordered by the number of query executions. It is primarily useful in identifying the most frequently used SQL within the database so that they can be monitored for efficiency. Generally speaking, a small performance increase on a frequently used query provides greater gains than a moderate performance increase on an infrequently used query

  • SQL ordered by Parse Calls

This section shows the number of times a statement was parsed as compared to the number of times it was executed. One to one parse/executions may indicate that:

- Bind variables are not being used.

- Parameter session_cached_cursors was not set properly

- The shared pool may be too small and the parse is not being retained long enough for multiple executions

- cursor_sharing is set to exact (this should NOT be changed without considerable testing on the part of the client).

Note that Oracle considers average read times of greater than 20 ms unacceptable. If a datafile consistently has average read times of 20 ms or greater then:
- The queries against the contents of the owning tablespace should be examined and tuned so that less data is retrieved.
- If the tablespace contains indexes, another option is to compress the indexes so that they require less space and hence, less IO.
- The contents of that datafile should be redistributed across several disks/logical volumes to more easily accommodate the load.
- If the disk layout seems optimal, check the disk controller layout. It may be that the datafiles need to be distributed across more disk sets.

An enqueue is simply a locking mechanism. The action to take depends on the lock type that is causing the most problems. The most common lock waits are generally for:

TX – Transaction Lock: Generally due to application concurrency mechanisms, or table setup issues.

TM – DML enqueue: Generally due to application issues, particularly if foreign key constraints have not been indexed.

ST – Space management enqueue: Usually caused by too much space management occurring. For example: create table as select on large tables on busy instances, small extent sizes, lots of sorting, etc.

SGA breakdown difference

SGA breakdown difference  DB/Inst: PDB10/pdb10  Snaps: 1-2
-> Top 35 rows by size, ordered by Pool, Name (note rows with null values for
   Pool column, or Names showing free memory are always shown)
-> Null value for Begin MB or End MB indicates the size of that Pool/Name was
   insignificant, or zero in that snapshot
