Sometimes I have the Enterprise Manager DB Console licensed, sometimes not. Sometimes I have direct SQL*Net access to the database that I may use to produce custom reports with my LAMP self-developed application. But it may happen that only an ssh access is granted to the db server.

That’s why I started to develop some little scripts to plot the trends of database timed statistics.

Let’s see this one:

SQL> @sysstat.sql
Enter a sysstat to search for: physical reads

STAT_ID     STAT_NAME
----------- ------------------------------------------
2263124246 physical reads
4171507801 physical reads cache
297908839 physical reads cache prefetch
2589616721 physical reads direct
2564935310 physical reads direct (lob)
2663793346 physical reads direct temporary tablespace
473165409 physical reads for flashback new
3102888545 physical reads prefetch warmup

Enter the desired stat_id: 2263124246
Enter the start date (YYYYMMDD) [defaults today] : 20080922
Enter the end date date (YYYYMMDD) [defaults today] : 20080922

Oh! At 4.00 PM we had a lot of physical reads. Nice.

This is the code:

-- display given statistics from DBA_HIST_SYSSTAT
col BEGIN_INTERVAL_TIME FOR a25
SET pages 100 LINES 130
SET verify off term ON
 
accept sysstat prompt 'Enter a sysstat to search for: '
SELECT STAT_ID, STAT_NAME
  FROM DBA_HIST_STAT_NAME
   WHERE LOWER(STAT_NAME) LIKE LOWER('%&sysstat%')
  ORDER BY stat_name;
 
accept stat_id prompt 'Enter the desired stat_id: '
accept startdate prompt 'Start date (YYYYMMDD) [today] : '
accept enddate prompt 'End date date (YYYYMMDD) [today] : '
 
SELECT STAT_NAME,
  nvl('&startdate',to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDD')) AS "START",
  nvl('&enddate',to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDD')) AS "END"
 FROM DBA_HIST_STAT_NAME
WHERE STAT_ID = &stat_id;
 
SELECT BEGIN_INTERVAL_TIME, VALORE,
  substr( rpad('*',40*round( VALORE/MAX(VALORE)OVER(),2),'*'),1,40) PLOTTED_VALORE
  FROM (
  SELECT s.BEGIN_INTERVAL_TIME BEGIN_INTERVAL_TIME,
    nvl(decode(greatest(VALUE, nvl(lag(VALUE) OVER
      (partition BY s.dbid, s.instance_number, g.stat_name ORDER BY s.snap_id),0)),
    VALUE,
    VALUE - lag(VALUE) OVER
      (partition BY s.dbid, s.instance_number, g.stat_name ORDER BY s.snap_id),VALUE), 0) VALORE
  FROM DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT s,
          DBA_HIST_SYSSTAT g,
          v$instance i
  WHERE s.SNAP_ID=g.SNAP_ID
  AND g.STAT_ID='&stat_id'
  AND s.BEGIN_INTERVAL_TIME >=
    trunc(to_timestamp(nvl('&startdate',to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDD')),'YYYYMMDD'))
  AND s.BEGIN_INTERVAL_TIME < =
   trunc(to_timestamp(nvl('&enddate',to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDD')),'YYYYMMDD')+1)
  AND s.instance_number=i.instance_number
  AND s.instance_number=g.instance_number
  ORDER BY 1
);
