Objectives In this lecture, you should learn how to perform the following: • Describe in high level Oracle database performance tuning tools • Describe types of performance tuning statistics • Set the statistics level
Types of Performance Tuning Statistics Performance Tuning statistic types: • Cumulative statistics: mostly have no meaning without the time factor - Time model - Wait events • Metrics: statistic rates • Sampled statistics - ADDM, AWR, Active Session History (ASH)
Setting Statistics Level • STATISTICS_LEVEL controls the level of collecting database and operating system statistics. Value Description BASIC Most important performance statistics are not collected TYPICAL All major statistics are collected ALL Timed operating system statistics and execution plan statistics are added
• Can be altered at the system and session levels
• To know which parameter is affected by setting this parameter, query the view V$STATISTICS_LEVEL
Summary In this lecture, you should have learnt how to perform the following: • Describe in high level Oracle database performance tuning tools • Describe types of performance tuning statistics • Set the statistics level
