Invalid and Unusable Objects

PL/SQL code objects are recompiled. Indexes are rebuilt.

Optimizer Statistics

Optimizer statistics are: Not real-time Persistent across instance restarts

SQL> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM hr.employees; COUNT(*) ---------214 SQL> SELECT num_rows FROM dba_tables 2 WHERE owner='HR' AND table_name = 'EMPLOYEES'; NUM_ROWS ---------107

Manually Gather Optimizer Statistics

If database was not created with the DBCA If tables are extremely volatile

Automate Optimizer Statistics Collection

Use the Oracle Scheduler to automate customized statistics collection.

Schedule Optimizer Statistics Collection

Statistics should be gathered as needed to ensure the optimizer can make appropriate decisions.

Dynamic Performance Views

Dynamic Performance views are: Real-time Non-persistent across instance restarts

SQL> SELECT name, value FROM v$sysstat 2 WHERE name='sorts (memory)' ORDER BY name; NAME VALUE --------------- ---------sorts (memory) 1979183 SQL> / NAME VALUE --------------- ---------sorts (memory) 1979184

Viewing Metric Information

Use the All Metrics link in the Related Links region. Drill-down for in-depth analysis.

Reacting to Performance Issues

Use Enterprise Manager to: Find key performance issues Drill down to the root cause

Reacting to Performance Issues

Drill down into performance measurements to identify bottlenecks

Key bottleneck: log buffer space
