How to check high resource intensive SQL in Oracle



Database performance is a major concern for a DBA. SQLs are the ones which needs proper DB management in order to execute well. At times the application team might tell you that the database is running slow. You can run below query to get the top 5 resource intensive SQL with SQL ID and then give it to application team to optimize them.


col Rank for a4

SELECT *

FROM (SELECT RANK () OVER

(PARTITION BY "Snap Day" ORDER BY "Buffer Gets" + "Disk Reads" DESC) AS "Rank", i1.* FROM (SELECT TO_CHAR (hs.begin_interval_time, 'MM/DD/YY' ) "Snap Day", SUM (shs.executions_delta) "Execs",

SUM (shs.buffer_gets_delta) "Buffer Gets",

How to check execution plan of a query



First get the sql ID and then you can use below command to generate execution plan of a query in oracle


SELECT * FROM table(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR('2t3nwk8h97vph',0));

In case you have more IDs, use below command to supply sql id every time you run the query


SELECT * FROM table(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR('&sql_id',0));




How to backup archivelog for specific sequence RMAN



When you issue archive backup commands via RAMN, it will backup all the archive logs. Sometimes, you might need to backup only a particular archive log sequence. Below command will help you backup archive logs between specific sequence


RMAN> BACKUP ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE 288 UNTIL SEQUENCE 388 DELETE INPUT;

The above command will backup archive logs from 288 to 388 sequence number.




How to check last CPU applied in Oracle



Generally if you have one single database install then checking the database inventory will give you the latest patch details. But! if we have multiple database in single oracle home then it might not give correct results. There might be a chance that one DB is applied with latest patches and others are not. In such cases, we need to check last CPU applied by logging into the database using below query:

Query to Check Last CPU Applied on a Database:

col VERSION for a15;

col COMMENTS for a50;

col ACTION for a10;

set lines 500;

select ACTION,VERSION,COMMENTS,BUNDLE_SERIES from registry$history;


What are Critical Patch Updates (CPUs)?

Critical Patch Updates are sets of patches containing  xes for security aws in Oracle products. The Critical Patch Update program (CPU) was introduced in January 2005 to provide security  xes on a  xed, publicly available schedule to help customers lower their security management

costs.




How to check biggest table in Oracle



As a DBA, you must keep an eye on the largest tables in the database. There are many things that get impacted with the largest objects like DB performance, growth, index rebuild etc. The below query gives you the top 10 largest tables in oracle database.

where job_name like 'RMAN_B%' and log_date > sysdate-2;

select log_id,log_date, owner, job_name, status, ADDITIONAL_INFO

from ALL_SCHEDULER_JOB_LOG

where log_id=113708;




How to check datapump export progress



Sometimes when you run datapump export, it might take a lot of time. Meanwhile client might ask you for the % of export completed. Use below query to get the details of how much % export is done.


SELECT SID, SERIAL#, USERNAME, CONTEXT, SOFAR, TOTALWORK,

ROUND(SOFAR/TOTALWORK*100,2) "%_COMPLETE"

FROM V$SESSION_LONGOPS WHERE TOTALWORK != 0 AND SOFAR <> TOTALWORK;

How to delete files older than X days in Linux







Find les older than X days and save ouput into a file



The below Linux command will help you to nd les older than 35 days in a specific directory path and save the ouput in backupfiles.log

Here the directory we are searching is /backup/logs and -mtime speci es the modi ed time of a le. We are saving the list of all the les which are older than 35 days in backupfiles.log


find /backup/logs -type f -mtime +35 -print > backupfiles.log &


Find les older than 7 days and print output on screen

If you want to print les older than 7 days on screen and do not want to save it into a file, use below command


find /backup/logs -type f -mtime +7 -print


Find les in current directory older than 28 days and remove them

Below linux command will nd all the les under current location (as we have speci ed . dot), search le name starting with arch and ending with log. check file create time with -ctime older than 28 days and then remove those files using rm -f


find . -name arch\*log -ctime +28 -exec rm -f {} \;




How to analyze wait events in Oracle



User below query to get the top wait classes in Oracle database



Select wait_class, sum(time_waited), sum(time_waited)/sum(total_waits)

Sum_Waits

From v$system_wait_class

Group by wait_class

Order by 3 desc;

From the above query, supply each wait class into below query to get the top wait events in database with respect to particular wait class


Select a.event, a.total_waits, a.time_waited, a.average_wait

From v$system_event a, v$event_name b, v$system_wait_class c

Where a.event_id=b.event_id

And b.wait_class#=c.wait_class#

And c.wait_class = '&Enter_Wait_Class'

order by average_wait desc;




How to set DISPLAY variable in Linux



Whenever you want to invoke graphical interface in Linux, You must know how to set DISPLAY variable in order to open the GUI. Linux by default does not allow you to open any GUI (Linux Oracle Installer) until you enable the GUI display.

Use below command to enable Linux GUI interface at command prompt as root user:


# xhost +

Sometimes, even after issuing above command, you wont be able to invoke GUI because of “DISPLAY not set” error. In such case, you must export the display environmental variable:


#  echo $DISPLAY

#  export DISPLAY=:0.0;

Now you can invoke any Linux GUI interface by directly running the installer!




Crontab error - Permission Denied



When you try to schedule backups under corntab as Oracle user, you might encounter crontab permission error


[oracle@plcdbprod ~]$ crontab -l

cron/oracle: Permission denied

The error is because of permission issues on /usr/bin/crontab le. Login as root user and find the crontab permissions on /usr/bin/crontab


[root@plcdbprod ~]# ls -l /usr/bin/crontab

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 315432 Jul 15 2008 /usr/bin/crontab

Give the below permissions to /usr/bin/crontab file



[root@plcdbprod ~]# chmod 4755 /usr/bin/crontab

[root@plcdbprod ~]# ls -l /usr/bin/crontab

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 315432 Jul 15 2008 /usr/bin/crontab

Login as oracle user and check your crontab -e.

Happy Learning!!!




How to check FRA location utilization in Oracle



Flash Recovery Area must be monitored regularly. Sometimes FRA runs our of space and a DBA must be able to gather FRA space utilization. It is very important to monitor space usage in the fast recovery area to ensure that it is large enough to contain backups and other recovery-related files.

Below script gives you Flash Recovery Area utilization details:



set linesize 500

col NAME for a50

select name, ROUND(SPACE_LIMIT/1024/1024/1024,2) "Allocated Space(GB)",

round(SPACE_USED/1024/1024/1024,2) "Used Space(GB)",

round(SPACE_RECLAIMABLE/1024/1024/1024,2) "SPACE_RECLAIMABLE (GB)" ,

(select round(ESTIMATED_FLASHBACK_SIZE/1024/1024/1024,2)

from V$FLASHBACK_DATABASE_LOG) "Estimated Space (GB)"

from V$RECOVERY_FILE_DEST;




How to check last modified table in Oracle





As a DBA, application team sometimes might ask you to provide details of last modi ed table in oracle. The table modi cation can be insert, update or delete. Below queries get details of last or latest modi ed table in oracle database. Run the queries depending upon the database version.

Last modified table in oracle 10g and Above



set linesize 500;

select TABLE_OWNER, TABLE_NAME, INSERTS, UPDATES, DELETES, to_char(TIMESTAMP,'YYYY-MON-DD HH24:MI:SS') from all_tab_modifications

where table_owner<>'SYS' and

EXTRACT(YEAR FROM TO_DATE(TIMESTAMP, 'DD-MON-RR')) > 2010 order by 6;

In 9i, table monitoring has to be enabled manually or else the all_tab_modifcations wont keep record of changes. 10g onwards, oracle by default records the modifications

Last modified table in oracle for 9i db



col object for a20;

col object_name for a20;

SELECT OWNER, OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_TYPE,

to_char(LAST_DDL_TIME,'YYYY-MON-DD HH24:MI:SS')

from dba_objects where LAST_DDL_TIME=(select max(LAST_DDL_TIME)

from dba_objects WHERE object_type='TABLE');




How to check single table size in oracle



Once you run the query, it will ask your table name. Enter the table name in the format of owner.tablename. Eg - scott.emp


select segment_name,segment_type, sum(bytes/1024/1024/1024) GB from dba_segments

where segment_name='&Your_Table_Name'

group by segment_name,segment_type;




How to check database PITR after refresh



Database refresh is common task for a DBA. But after every database refresh, you must check the PITR date and time. This should be checked before you issue OPEN RESETLOGS command.

Query to Check PITR – Issue it before OPEN RESETLOGS

select distinct to_char(checkpoint_time,'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') checkpoint_time from v$datafile_header ;




How to check archive generation in Oracle





The below query gives results of archive generation in oracle database. Use below query to nd the archive space requirements and you can use it to estimate the archive destination size perfectly well.


SELECT A.*,

Round(A.Count#*B.AVG#/1024/1024/1024) Daily_Avg_gb

FROM

(SELECT

To_Char(First_Time,'YYYY-MM-DD') DAY,

Count(1) Count#,

Min(RECID) Min#,

Max(RECID) Max#

FROM v$log_history

GROUP

BY To_Char(First_Time,'YYYY-MM-DD')

ORDER

BY 1 DESC

) A,

(SELECT Avg(BYTES) AVG#, Count(1) Count#, Max(BYTES) Max_Bytes, Min(BYTES) Min_Bytes

FROM

v$log ) B;




How to disable firewall in Linux 7



Disabling
rewall in Linux 5/7 versions is little bit di  erent than Linux 7.
Sometimes
you need to disable  rewall in Linux 7 version as
part of
Database installation pre-requisites. This article will help you to
nd the
status of firewall and then enable / disable it.


Firewall Status

The below command will show you the current status “Active” in case firewall is running:


# systemctl status firewalld


Firewall stop / start

You can start/stop Linux firewall with below commands:



#  service firewalld stop


#  service firewalld start


Firewall Disable / Enable

You can enable/disable rewall completely on Linux with below commands:




#  systemctl disable firewalld


#  systemctl enable firewalld




How to check database lock conflict in Oracle





Database lock con icts are one of the issues which DBA needs to deal with. The database locks can keep users waiting for very long and we much know how to check database locks. Users reporting that their query is taking too long to execute, then you must also check if there are any locks on the objects being accessed (unless its a select query). Use below queries to check the database locks:

Checking Lock Conflicts in 10g and Above:

select a.SID "Blocking Session", b.SID "Blocked Session"

from v$lock a, v$lock b

where a.SID != b.SID and a.ID1 = b.ID1 and a.ID2 = b.ID2 and

b.request > 0 and a.block = 1;

Checking Lock Conflicts in 9i Systems:

select s1.username || '@' || s1.machine

||    ' ( SID=' || s1.sid || ' ) is blocking '

||    s2.username || '@' || s2.machine

||    ' ( SID=' || s2.sid || ' ) ' AS blocking_status

from v$lock l1, v$session s1, v$lock l2, v$session s2

where s1.sid=l1.sid and s2.sid=l2.sid

and l1.BLOCK=1 and l2.request > 0

and l1.id1 = l2.id1

and l2.id2 = l2.id2 ;

Query to Check Lock is Table Level or Row Level

col session_id head 'Sid' form 9999

col object_name head "Table|Locked" form a30

col oracle_username head "Oracle|Username" form a10 truncate col os_user_name head "OS|Username" form a10 truncate col process head "Client|Process|ID" form 99999999

col owner head "Table|Owner" form a10

col mode_held form a15

select lo.session_id,lo.oracle_username,lo.os_user_name,

lo.process,do.object_name,do.owner,

decode(lo.locked_mode,0, 'None',1, 'Null',2, 'Row Share (SS)',

3, 'Row Excl (SX)',4, 'Share',5, 'Share Row Excl (SSX)',6, 'Exclusive',

to_char(lo.locked_mode)) mode_held

from gv$locked_object lo, dba_objects do

where lo.object_id = do.object_id

order by 5

How to check database size in Oracle



A DBA works on many aspects of database like cloning, backup, performance tuning etc. In every aspect of database administration, most of the times resolution depends upon the size of database. For example, DBA can implement DB FULL backup strategy on a very small database when compared to DB INCREMENTAL strategy on a very large database.

Use below script to check db size along with Used space and free space in database:


col "Database Size" format a20

col "Free space" format a20

col "Used space" format a20

select round(sum(used.bytes) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 ) || ' GB' "Database Size"

, round(sum(used.bytes) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 ) - round(free.p / 1024 / 1024 / 1024) || ' GB' "Used space"
, round(free.p / 1024 / 1024 / 1024) || ' GB' "Free space" from (select bytes

from v$datafile union all select bytes from v$tempfile union all select bytes from v$log) used

, (select sum(bytes) as p

from dba_free_space) free

group by free.p

How to configure yum server in linux



In this article, we will learn how to con gure yum server in di erent Oracle Linux versions. YUM repository is a software package manager which allows you to easily install, update or delete RPMs. Most of the required RPM packages come along with the Linux installer CD. But! if you have internet connection, you can con gure YUM repository on Linux and this will remove installer CD or iso file dependency.

Most of the times when you want to install packages (RPMs) for Oracle products, it really becomes tough to identify and install each package. Good news is! you can connect to Yum server and get the packages at one shot!



Download and configure yum server

Download and copy the appropriate yum con guration le in place, by running the following commands as root:


cd /etc/yum.repos.d

For Oracle Linux 7

#  wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol7.repo For Oracle Linux 6

#  wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo For Oracle Linux 5

#  wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo


Download and install Oracle Linux

Download and install Oracle Linux and make sure your are able to connect to internet. Start using yum server with below commands:


# yum list       --> to list all the contents of yum repository

# yum install oracle-validated             --> to install oracle-valudated package

# yum install libaio-devel*                 --> to install libaio-devel rpm

The oracle-validated package will install all the packages required to install Oracle Database and RAC on OEL 5.

How to force users change password on first login Linux



How to force users change their passwords upon rst login in Linux? How to make sure user changes password at next login time in Linux?

You can force a user to change their password upon rst time login to Linux server. You can even force existing users to change their passwords on next login. This is done using chage command in Linux. The chage command will change the user password expiry information.

The below chage command will make user password expired. Hence, this will force user to provide a new password. Here we are forcing oracle user to change password on next login


# chage -d 0 oracle

The option -d 0 will mark the password expired and hence, user will be forced to change password.




How to check datafile utilization in Oracle



When you want to shrink a data le, you must always check the single data le utilization. In case if you shrink data le more than the used size, it will fail. Below query gives the data le utilization and depending upon the datafile free space, you can shrink it


col file_name for a60;

set pagesize 500;

set linesize 500;

SELECT SUBSTR (df.NAME, 1, 40) file_name, df.bytes / 1024 / 1024 allocated_mb, ((df.bytes / 1024 / 1024) - NVL (SUM (dfs.bytes) / 1024 / 1024, 0)) used_mb,

NVL (SUM (dfs.bytes) / 1024 / 1024, 0) free_space_mb

FROM v$datafile df, dba_free_space dfs

WHERE df.file# = dfs.file_id(+)

GROUP BY dfs.file_id, df.NAME, df.file#, df.bytes

ORDER BY file_name;




How to estimate flashback destination space





Sometimes application team will ask DBA to enable ashback for x number of days. In such case, a DBA needs to estimate the ashback space required for x number of days in order to store the ashback logs. The flashback log size is same as archive log size generated in a database.

Check the archive generation size via below query

Take the average per day size of archives generated

Multiply the average archive size with x number of days

Ask storage team to add the required space for flashback file system

Check archive generation size via below query:



select to_char(COMPLETION_TIME,'DD-MON-YYYY') Arch_Date,count(*) No#_Logs, sum((BLOCKS*512)/1024/1024/1024) Arch_LogSize_GB from v$archived_log

where to_char(COMPLETION_TIME,'DD-MON-YYYY')>=trunc(sysdate-7) and DEST_ID=1 group by to_char(COMPLETION_TIME,'DD-MON-YYYY') order by to_char(COMPLETION_TIME,'DD-MON-YYYY');

Note: Take average size * 30 days to get 1 month flashback space size.




How to check temp tablespace utilization
