How to check Oracle database for long running queries

Tags:

oracle

This one shows SQL that is currently "ACTIVE":-

select S.USERNAME, s.sid, s.osuser, t.sql_id, sql_text
from v$sqltext_with_newlines t,V$SESSION s
where t.address =s.sql_address
and t.hash_value = s.sql_hash_value
and s.status = 'ACTIVE'
and s.username <> 'SYSTEM'
order by s.sid,t.piece
/

This shows locks. Sometimes things are going slow, but it's because it is blocked waiting for a lock:

select
  object_name, 
  object_type, 
  session_id, 
  type,         -- Type or system/user lock
  lmode,        -- lock mode in which session holds lock
  request, 
  block, 
  ctime         -- Time since current mode was granted
from
  v$locked_object, all_objects, v$lock
where
  v$locked_object.object_id = all_objects.object_id AND
  v$lock.id1 = all_objects.object_id AND
  v$lock.sid = v$locked_object.session_id
order by
  session_id, ctime desc, object_name
/

This is a good one for finding long operations (e.g. full table scans). If it is because of lots of short operations, nothing will show up.

COLUMN percent FORMAT 999.99 

SELECT sid, to_char(start_time,'hh24:mi:ss') stime, 
message,( sofar/totalwork)* 100 percent 
FROM v$session_longops
WHERE sofar/totalwork < 1
/

Try this, it will give you queries currently running for more than 60 seconds. Note that it prints multiple lines per running query if the SQL has multiple lines. Look at the sid,serial# to see what belongs together.

select s.username,s.sid,s.serial#,s.last_call_et/60 mins_running,q.sql_text from v$session s 
join v$sqltext_with_newlines q
on s.sql_address = q.address
 where status='ACTIVE'
and type <>'BACKGROUND'
and last_call_et> 60
order by sid,serial#,q.piece

v$session_longops

If you look for sofar != totalwork you'll see ones that haven't completed, but the entries aren't removed when the operation completes so you can see a lot of history there too.


Step 1:Execute the query

column username format 'a10'
column osuser format 'a10'
column module format 'a16'
column program_name format 'a20'
column program format 'a20'
column machine format 'a20'
column action format 'a20'
column sid format '9999'
column serial# format '99999'
column spid format '99999'
set linesize 200
set pagesize 30
select
a.sid,a.serial#,a.username,a.osuser,c.start_time,
b.spid,a.status,a.machine,
a.action,a.module,a.program
from
v$session a, v$process b, v$transaction c,
v$sqlarea s
Where
a.paddr = b.addr
and a.saddr = c.ses_addr
and a.sql_address = s.address (+)
and to_date(c.start_time,'mm/dd/yy hh24:mi:ss') <= sysdate - (15/1440) -- running for 15 minutes
order by c.start_time
/   

Step 2: desc v$session

Step 3:select sid, serial#,SQL_ADDRESS, status,PREV_SQL_ADDR from v$session where sid='xxxx' //(enter the sid value)

Step 4: select sql_text from v$sqltext where address='XXXXXXXX';

Step 5: select piece, sql_text from v$sqltext where address='XXXXXX' order by piece;

You can generate an AWR (automatic workload repository) report from the database.

Run from the SQL*Plus command line:

SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/awrrpt.sql

Read the document related to how to generate & understand an AWR report. It will give a complete view of database performance and resource issues. Once we are familiar with the AWR report it will be helpful to find Top SQL which is consuming resources.

Also, in the 12C EM Express UI we can generate an AWR.
