Part 3: Using SQLT (SQLTXPLAIN) tool with Data Guard physical standby databases

Posted by FatDBA on January 28, 2022

SQLT (Oracle’s Tool written by Carlos Sierra, read MOS note 215187.1 for more details) is an important tool when it comes to doing in-depth and advance troubleshooting & analysis of a SQL statement, it’s pretty easy to install, configure and use, but things gets little tricky when it comes to running it for the SQL that is slow or in question on the read-only standby database. The problem is obvious as ADG or standby databases doesn’t allow WRITE operations and you will get error “ORA-16000: database open for read-only access” when try on standby database

The only problem being that SQLTXTRACT and SQLTXECUTE need read/write access to the database (to store data in the SQLT repository and to install packages and procedures). How is it possible for SQLT to help us if we can’t even store data about the performance on the database with the performance problem? This is where SQLTXTRSBY comes into play. XTRSBY solves this problem by using local users (on a read/write database) and creating procedures that use database links to the read-only database.

First step : Install SQLTXPLAIN on the primary and allow the DDL to be propagated to the standby database.

-- On primary database
-- DDL Will get propogated to the standby in few secons/mins.

Step 2 : Create a database link accessible to the SQLTXPLAIN schema linking to the standby database as changes will be fetched from the standby database SQLTXPLA in schema.

SQL> select sysdate from dual@DBLINK_TOSTANDBY;

     SYSDATE

Step 3: Let’s run some SQLs on standby database which we will using against the SQLT tool as an input to generate the SQLT report.

-- On Standby Database
SQL> @1

DIXITSTAN                       READ ONLY WITH APPLY PHYSICAL STANDBY

SQL>
SQL> select count(*) from bigtab where weight in ( select distinct( weight) from bigtab);

  COUNT(*)
----------
   2431464

SQL> select sql_id, sql_fulltext from v$sqlarea where sql_text like '%distinct( weight) from bigtab%';

SQL_ID        SQL_FULLTEXT
------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6mg40znnrhzm8 select count(*) from bigtab where weight in ( select distinct( weight) from bigtab)

In the steps above we ran some arbitrary SQL and got the SQL ID for that SQL. Remember we ran the SQL on the standby database (where our reports might have run). We can’t store any data on the Data Guard Physical Standby database so now we have to capture information about the SQL from across the database link from the primary database.

Step 4: Will run the SQLT for SQLID that we have captured from STANDBY database, from PRIMARY database. The script “sqltxtrsby.sql” is present under RUN directory of the tool.

Part 2 : Creating custom SQL Profile for a slow SQL in a Data Guard physical standby database

Posted by FatDBA on January 19, 2022

Someone asked me lately if its possible to fix a plan for a bad/slow SELECT SQL in a Data Guard environment ? The guy was asking as he was using ‘coe_xfr_sql_profile.sql‘, the script that you can use to create custom SQL Profiles to correct optimizer cost estimates to encourage good execution plans for a SQL.

Well, the post is not about using it to fix SQL plans, but is to understand how to fix a plan for a SQL that is slow on standby environment. Because if you go and try to execute the script that SQLT generates you will get ‘ORA-00600: internal error’ as dataguard is always opened in the RO mode and you cannot write anything on the database, so the question is – How to fix the plan then for a standby database ?

Here in the example, I’ve got a ADG setup with name ‘TESTSTANDBY’ and one of the SELECT statement with SQL ID 0y521mggg73pk that is slow and it has 4 different plan hash values (PHV) and there is plan flip that happens and due to that sometimes it picks the wrong plan and that’s when it goes slow. Here 1469174702 is the PHV that is WORST and both 3847062775 and 2797333706 PHVs are BEST and we can any of the two.

So, what you have to do here, you need to move the file (do scp, ftp, cp whatever) ‘coe_xfr_sql_profile_0y521mggg73pk_3847062775.sql‘ that is produced by the COE file, to the PRIMARY database and run that file from there and not on the standby.

Part 1 : Running SQL Tuning Advisor for a slow SQL in a Read Only Standby Database

Posted by FatDBA on January 15, 2022

Here goes my maiden post blog post from series about “Troubleshooting SQLs & other Issues on a Read Only Standby/Dataguard Environments” …

Recently I helped one of my customer stabilize performance of one of their critical DWH/BI decision support system workload running on an ADG (Physical Standby). At one time I have to generate SQL tuning advisory reports for few slow SQLs on the database, but that being a RO dataguard, it always ends with an error "ORA-13792: This operation requires a database link." when I try to call the SQL tuning advisor directly on the standby database.

So, this post is about how to run SQL Tuning advisor on a dataguard environment. Let’s assume we want to get SQLTA recommendation for this below SQL that is going for a FULL TABLE SCAN and is a costly SQL.

SQL> explain plan for select count(*) from bigtab where weight in ( select distinct( weight) from bigtab);

Explained.

SQL> select * from  table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(null,null,'ALLSTATS LAST'));

PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SQL_ID  0mauvkjsvmcmj, child number 1


Plan hash value: 2140185107

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id  | Operation          | Name   | Rows  | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time     |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT   |        |     1 |    13 |    74   (0)| 00:00:01 |
|   1 |  SORT AGGREGATE    |        |     1 |    13 |            |          |
|*  2 |   TABLE ACCESS FULL| BIGTAB | 80223 |  1018K|    74   (0)| 00:00:01 |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
---------------------------------------------------

   2 - filter("WEIGHT" IS NOT NULL)

This is what I have received on the standby database when tried to run the SQL Tuning advisor directly on it where it says that it requires a database link in order to run the advisory.

-- On standby database:

In remote tuning, the database on which you initiate a tuning task differs from the database in which the tuning process executes or in which results are stored. For example, a standby database can have its own workload of queries, some of which may require tuning. You can issue SQL Tuning Advisor statements on a standby database. A standby-to-primary database link enables DBMS_SQLTUNE to write data to and read data from the primary database. The link is necessary because the standby database, which is read-only, cannot write the SQL tuning data.

Okay, for that first you need to create the DB Link between primary and the standby database, and same will be used by the SQL tuning advisor where it will do the write operations on the primary database. We will check its connectivity from the standby database if its working or not …

-- On Primary database
SQL> select username,common,account_status from dba_users where username ='SYS$UMF';

USERNAME        COM ACCOUNT_STATUS
--------------- --- --------------------------------
SYS$UMF         YES OPEN

-- On Primary database:
SQL> create database link lnk_to_pri connect to "SYS$UMF" identified by "oracle90" using 'DXTPRI';

Database link created.


-- On Standby database:
SQL> select  db_unique_name from v$database@lnk_to_pri;

DB_UNIQUE_NAME
------------------------------
DXTPRI

1 row selected.

SQL>

To tune a standby workload on a primary database, specify the database_link_to parameter in DBMS_SQLTUNE procedures. By default, the database_link_to parameter is null, which means that tuning is local. The database_link_to parameter must specify a private database link. This link must be owned by SYS and accessed by the default privileged user SYS$UMF. You issue all statements on the standby database. DBMS_SQLTUNE uses the database link both to fetch data from the primary database, and store data in the primary database.
Let’s create the TUNING TASK for the SQL Text.

-- run it on the STANDBY Database.
SQL>
SQL> 
DECLARE
my_task_name VARCHAR2(30);
my_sqltext CLOB;
BEGIN
my_sqltext := 'select count(*) from bigtab where weight in ( select distinct( weight) from bigtab)';
my_task_name := DBMS_SQLTUNE.CREATE_TUNING_TASK(
sql_text => my_sqltext,
task_name => 'TEST_sql_tuning_task1',
database_link_to => 'lnk_to_pri');
END;
/  
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL>

-- Lets check if the tuning task is created 
SQL> SELECT task_name, STATUS, EXECUTION_start, EXECUTION_end FROM dba_advisor_log;

TASK_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STATUS      EXECUTION EXECUTION
----------- --------- ---------
TEST_sql_tuning_task1
EXECUTING   13-JAN-22

Next you need to execute the tuning task using the task_name you have assigned in the last step while creating the tuning task.

-- On Standby database
SQL> EXEC DBMS_SQLTUNE.execute_tuning_task(task_name => '&&your_sta_taks_name', database_link_to => 'lnk_to_pri');
Enter value for your_sta_taks_name: TEST_sql_tuning_task1

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Next, lets do the final step, generate the tuning task report with all recommendations for the SQL that is slow in the standby database.

-- Run it on the Standby database.

What are those strange columns in my execution plan OMem 1Mem O/1/M and Used-Mem ?

Posted by FatDBA on January 12, 2022

Few of the readers after my last post asked me – What are those strange columns named ‘OMem’, ‘1Mem’ and ‘O/1/M’ or ‘Used-Mem’ in execution plan ? This is something what you will see in the execution plan if called the DBMS_XPLAN using ‘+memstats’ or the ‘+allstats’ options.

First talking about column ‘Starts’, that is the number of times that operation actually happened. The column with title ‘Buffers’ refers to the amount of buffer read/write (IO) performed. Now comes the column ‘OMem’, and it is the memory estimate needed to perform the operation in memory only. This is also called the optimal execution.
Next column with title ‘1Mem’ is the memory estimate needed to perform the operation in a single pass (Read/Write from disk (temp) only once), called one-pass execution. A multi-pass execution is when the same data is written to and read from disk more than once. Think about the sorting, where the database has to do a sort on large amount data in a small PGA or sort area.

Last column with title ‘0/1/M’ and sometimes ‘Used-Mem‘ is the ACTUAL amount of memory used for the operation. You also see some numbers in the brackets for this column. There is a significance for them – If the number is 0, then it was an optimal execution, used only memory and no temporary space. If the number is 1, then it was a one-pass execution. If the number is > 1, it was a multi-pass execution, and that number represents the number of passes.

Use gather_plan_statistics hint to understand optimizer’s estimations and much more ..

Posted by FatDBA on January 10, 2022

Lately someone told me that he ran the gather_plan_statistics hint with his SQL, but he is not getting the detailed execution plan, I mean all extra stats that you see i.e. starts, estimated time, starts, buffers, actual and estimated number of rows were not there and he was getting the regular/simple execution plan.

But I found he was trying it in a wrong way! The /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ hint does not save data into PLAN_TABLE, but it stores execution statistics in V$SQL_PLAN performance view. To display these data you can use (dbms_xplan.display_cursor (format=>’ALLSTATS LAST’)), but this not always work, because you must execute the second command immediately after the SQL query. The better method is to query V$SQL or V$SQLAREA or any useful view to obtain SQL_ID of the query, and then use DISPLAY_CURSOR function, for example in this way …

SQL>

The above query returns SQL_ID=0m329sngnhv1p and CHILD_NUMBER=0(child number is just a cursor number). Use these values to query the collected plan. This will show you statistics such as the actual number of rows processed (A-Rows), rather than just the estimates (E-Rows). A-Rows is the total number of rows produced by all starts of that operation. But E-Rows is an estimate of the number of rows produced by a single start of an operation. If you want to read about E-Rows and A-Rows columns, please read a brilliant post by Jonathan Lewis.

Okay, the plan also includes a column called Starts, which tells you how many times each step was executed. A-Rows, E-Rows and Starts are all incredibly useful if you want to understand a plan.

ORA-12034: materialized view log younger than last refresh

Posted by FatDBA on January 7, 2022

Recently I have encountered an issue where frequent errors were captured in the alert log file about the on demand materialized view refresh failure. The main error reported was ORA-12034: materialized view log on “DIXDROID”.”TEST_STATS” younger than last refresh.

On demand
MV DIXDROID.PRAS_ID_MV was not refreshed successfully.
Number of MV refresh failures: 1.
Encountered error ORA-12034.

It was pointing to the Materialized View Log, about materialized view logs, they are created for a master table, and a materialized view has been created with the REFRESH FAST option, the following timestamps will be used when validating log age.

About potential causes, there could be many i.e.

  • Definition of the master table is altered.
  • The last refresh was failed for some reasons.
  • Altering the master table so that changes don’t go to the materialized view log i.e. truncate, alter partitions drop or truncate
  • Master table reorganization or when when issuing an MV log purge

Now about the solution, in our case this issue happens when a complete refresh is required before the next fast refresh. So I did the COMPLETE refresh for the MV in question and did the FAST refresh soon after that and that has fixed the issue.

Getting SQL ID in advance, before the real execution, possible ?

Posted by FatDBA on January 4, 2022

Happy New Year Everyone!

Starting 2022 with a short and a quick post! 🙂

Today, one of the customer’s application architect during a team meet asked me if its possible to have the SQL ID in advance, before the SQL execution ? And luckily, I know that’s possible (through Connor McDonald‘s blog post on the same subject) and I was immediately able to answer the customer with a confident ‘Yes, that’s possible!’ 🙂

When I asked, why he want to do that, he said that they are planning to integrate a new module to their CRM application, first into development environment where they want to catch all expensive SQLs, their IDs in advance and later on compare it with the UAT environment and to get some anticipations on SQL runtime latencies. That I guess is a valid reason to have the SQL IDs in advance.

If you’re using Oracle 18c or above then you can use SET FEEDBACK ON SQL_ID, which means the SQL_ID for the currently executed SQL or PL/SQL statement is displayed after the results. This is very useful, and a huge time saver, when all you need is to know the SQL_ID. When feedback for SQL_ID is ON, then the value of the SQL_ID is assigned to a predefined variable _SQL_ID

And if you’re running below 18c then you can use dbms_sql_translator.sql_id package, it provides an interface for creating, configuring, and using SQL translation profiles, and you can use one of its function sql_id to get the SQLID in advance.

Let’s do the demo for both! Though I am running this on 12c, but still be able to use both options as connecting to the database via SQLcl (a SQL Dev CLI) version 21.4 and that has both the options available.
