Find statements with multiple SQL Plans

SELECTsql_id, COUNT(DISTINCT plan_hash_value)FROMdba_hist_sqlstat stat,dba_hist_snapshot ssWHEREstat.snap_id = ss.snap_idAND ss.dbid = stat.dbidAND ss.instance_number = stat.instance_numberAND ss.begin_interval_time >= sysdate – 7AND ss.end_interval_time <= sysdate AND stat.plan_hash_value <> 0AND stat.executions_delta > 0AND stat.parsing_schema_name NOT IN ( ‘SYS’, ‘SYSTEM’ )GROUP BYsql_idhaving COUNT(DISTINCT plan_hash_value) >1ORDER BY1;

Sequence referenced by table

Find which table references a sequence qith the following statement: SELECT s.object_id AS sequence_object_id,s.name AS sequence_name,OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(o.parent_object_id) + ‘.’+ OBJECT_NAME(o.parent_object_id) AS table_name,r.*FROM sys.sequences sCROSS APPLY sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities(OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(s.object_id) + ‘.’ + s.name,’OBJECT’) rJOIN sys.objects oON o.object_id = r.referencing_id

Use SQL Tuning Advisor

DECLARE v_sqlid varchar2(20) :='<SQL ID>’;l_sql_tune_task_id VARCHAR2(100);BEGINl_sql_tune_task_id := DBMS_SQLTUNE.create_tuning_task (sql_id => v_sqlid ,scope => DBMS_SQLTUNE.scope_comprehensive,time_limit => 120,task_name => v_sqlid,description => ‘Tuning task for statement ‘||v_sqlid);DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(‘l_sql_tune_task_id: ‘ || l_sql_tune_task_id);END;/ EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.execute_tuning_task(task_name => ‘<SQL ID>’); select dbms_sqltune.report_tuning_task(‘v_sqlid ‘<SQL ID>’) from dual;

Resolve locking situation

A blocking lock is when a resource is locked from one session, and another session needs to acquire a new non compatible lock on the same resource. Find the locking resources with the following statement: SELECT a.sid||decode(request,0,'(holder)’,'(waiter)’||’:blocked by:’||blocking_session) sess_id ,lmode,request,a.type,c.object_name,decode(row_wait_obj#,-1,’Holder…
