Difference between awrrpt.sql and awrrpti.sql?

The output of these reports is essentially the same, except that awrrpti.sql script allows you to define a specific instance to report on.

AWR Report types (Most Commonly used Reports):

  • The awrrpt.sql SQL script generates an HTML or text report that displays statistics for a range of snapshot Ids.
  • The awrrpti.sql SQL script generates an HTML or text report that displays statistics for a range of snapshot Ids on a specified database and instance.
  • The awrsqrpt.sql SQL script generates an HTML or text report that displays statistics of a particular SQL statement for a range of snapshot Ids. Run this report to inspect or debug the performance of a SQL statement.
  • The awrsqrpi.sql SQL script generates an HTML or text report that displays statistics of a particular SQL statement for a range of snapshot Ids on a specified database and instance. Run this report to inspect or debug the performance of a SQL statement on a specific database and instance.
  • The awrddrpt.sql SQL script generates an HTML or text report that compares detailed performance attributes and configuration settings between two selected time periods.
  • The awrddrpi.sql SQL script generates an HTML or text report that compares detailed performance attributes and configuration settings between two selected time periods on a specific database and instance.
  • The awrgrpt.sql  Generate AWR Cluster aggregated statistics from all the instances.
  • The awrgdrpt.sql  report compares the statistic results of differences between two different snapshot intervals, for the whole cluster database.

SQL> @awrsqrpt.sql —- Generate AWR Report Single Select Statement:

Run the awrsqrpt.sql script from $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/ as a sys user. The script will ask you for the output format of the report (HTML or TEXT), the the number of days (n) will result in the most recent
(n) days of snapshots being listed (If you hit enter, you will get all the available snapshots listed), begin and end snapshot interval Ids intervals and the SQL_ID for the specific SELECT statement …

To check SQL ID —

SQL> select SQL_ID  from V$SQLAREA where rownum =1 ;

SQL_ID

RMAN (Do’s & Dont’s)

Posted by FatDBA on June 26, 2012

No SPFILE before control file if both are backed up at the same time.

RMAN> backup current spfile controlfile;

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00558: error encountered while parsing input commands
RMAN-01009: syntax error: found “spfile”: expecting one of: “controlfile”
RMAN-01007: at line 1 column 16 file: standard input

RMAN> backup current controlfile spfile;

Starting backup at 29-MAY-12
using channel ORA_DISK_1
….

================================================================
* RMAN don’t support PFILE backups. SPFILE is only support parameter type in RMAN.

* RMAN does not backup TEMP tablespaces.
That is because “TEMP” was not backed up at the outset. RMAN does not backup Temporary Tablespaces. Such tablespaces do NOT need to be backed up, and, therefore are not restored or cloned.

* Redo logs can’t be backed up using RMAN but REDO Archivelogs can.

The Kickstart

Posted by FatDBA on May 5, 2012

Hello Everyone,

Date is 05-05-2012 and I’ve finally decided to publish my Oracle database study online. Oracle Ant is big footstep towards my love for the Red.

Note: During this journey I’ll prefer calling terms like ‘The Red’ or ‘Red’ to Oracle Database.

Thanks

– Prash ANT
