Manual creation of SQL Profiles in Oracle Database

15 min read

SQL Profiles are a powerful tool to improve performance of SQL queries in your Oracle Database.

SQL profile is a database object that contains auxiliary statistics specific to a SQL statement.

Conceptually, a SQL profile is to a SQL statement what object-level statistics are to a table or index. SQL profiles are created when a DBA invokes SQL Tuning Advisor.

 SQL profile is a collection of auxiliary statistics on a query, including all tables and columns referenced in the query. The profile is stored in the data dictionary. The optimizer uses this information during optimization to determine the most optimal plan.

NOTE: TAKE SNIP OF PREVIOUS AND CURRENT PLAN HASH VALUE WITH SQLID.

STEP-1: CHECK FOR PERMORMENCE AND PHV RELATED STUFF

REM SCRIPT
REM   coe_xfr_sql_profile.sql
REM
REM DESCRIPTION
REM   This script generates another that contains the commands to
REM   create a manual custom SQL Profile out of a known plan from
REM   memory or AWR. The manual custom profile can be implemented
REM   into the same SOURCE system where the plan was retrieved,
REM   or into another similar TARGET system that has same schema
REM   objects referenced by the SQL that generated the known plan.
REM
REM PRE-REQUISITES
REM   1. Oracle Tuning Pack license.
REM
REM PARAMETERS
REM   1. SQL_ID (required)
REM   2. Plan Hash Value for which a manual custom SQL Profile is
REM      needed (required). A list of known plans is presented.
REM      You may choose from list provided or enter a valid phv
REM      from a version of the SQL modified with Hints.
REM
REM EXECUTION
REM   1. Connect into SQL*Plus as user with access to data dictionary.
REM      Do not use SYS.
REM   2. Execute script coe_xfr_sql_profile.sql passing SQL_ID and
REM      plan hash value (parameters can be passed inline or until
REM      requested).
REM
REM EXAMPLE
REM   # sqlplus system
REM   SQL> START coe_xfr_sql_profile.sql [SQL_ID] [PLAN_HASH_VALUE];
REM   SQL> START coe_xfr_sql_profile.sql gnjy0mn4y9pbm 2055843663;
REM   SQL> START coe_xfr_sql_profile.sql gnjy0mn4y9pbm;
REM   SQL> START coe_xfr_sql_profile.sql;
REM
REM NOTES
REM   1. For possible errors see coe_xfr_sql_profile.log
REM   2. If SQLT is installed in SOURCE, you can use instead:
REM      sqlt/utl/sqltprofile.sql
REM   3. Be aware that using DBMS_SQLTUNE requires a license for
REM      Oracle Tuning Pack.
REM   4. Use a DBA user but not SYS.
REM   5. If you get "ORA-06532: Subscript outside of limit, ORA-06512: at line 1"
REM      Then you may consider this change (only in a test and disposable system):
REM      create or replace TYPE sys.sqlprof_attr AS VARRAY(5000) of VARCHAR2(500);

Step 5: Verify if it is using SQL_PROFILE

-- Run the problematic SQL and below command parallel

select SQL_ID, CHILD_NUMBER, PLAN_HASH_VALUE, SQL_PROFILE FROM V$SQL where sql_id='&SQL_ID';

select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor('dkz7v96ym42c6',null,'ADVANCED ALLSTATS LAST'));
Please verify if it is using new PLAN_HASH_VALUE.
 Please note if new plan is not using, then flush the HASH VALUE to ensure the new plan is used, then have the apps team restart the process.


COLUMN category FORMAT a10
COLUMN sql_text FORMAT a20

Dropping a SQL Profile

Connect SQL*Plus to the database with the appropriate privileges, call the DBMS_SQLTUNE.DROP_SQL_PROFILE procedure.

The following example drops the profile named my_sql_profile:

BEGIN
  DBMS_SQLTUNE.DROP_SQL_PROFILE ( 
    name => 'my_sql_profile' 
);
END;

Hope it worked for you !! 🙂
