DBMS_ADVISOR
is part of the server manageability suite of advisors, a set of expert systems that identifies and helps resolve performance problems relating to database server components.
Some advisors have their own packages. For these advisors, Oracle recommends that you use the advisor-specific package rather than DBMS_ADVISOR
. Each of the following advisors has its own package, tailored to its specific functionality:
Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (DBMS_ADDM
)
SQL Performance Analyzer (DBMS_SQLPA
)
SQL Repair Advisor (DBMS_SQLDIAG
)
SQL Tuning Advisor (DBMS_SQLTUNE
)
Compression Advisor (DBMS_COMPRESSION.GET_COMPRESSION_RATIO
)
SQL Access Advisor and Segment Advisor are the only advisors with common use cases for DBMS_ADVISOR
. Undo Advisor and Compression Advisor do not support DBMS_ADVISOR
subprograms.

Note:
This procedure is deprecated in Release 11gR1.This procedure establishes a link between the current SQL Access Advisor task and a SQL Workload object. The link allows an advisor task to access interesting data for doing an analysis. The link also provides a stable view of the data. Once a connection between a SQL Access Advisor task and a SQL Workload object is made, the workload is protected from removal or modification.
Users should use ADD_STS_REF
instead of ADD_SQLWKLD_REF
for all SQL tuning set-based advisor runs. This function is only provided for backward compatibility.
DBMS_ADVISOR.ADD_SQLWKLD_REF ( task_name IN VARCHAR2, workload_name IN VARCHAR2, is_sts IN NUMBER :=0);
Table 18-2 ADD_SQLWKLD_REF Procedure Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
|
The SQL Access Advisor task name that uniquely identifies an existing task. |
|
The name of the workload object to be linked. Once a object has been linked to a task, it becomes read-only and cannot be deleted. There is no limit to the number of links to workload objects. To remove the link to the workload object, use the procedure |

Note:
This procedure is deprecated in Release 11gR1.This procedure adds a single statement to the specified workload.
DBMS_ADVISOR.ADD_SQLWKLD_STATEMENT ( workload_name IN VARCHAR2, module IN VARCHAR2, action IN VARCHAR2, cpu_time IN NUMBER := 0, elapsed_time IN NUMBER := 0, disk_reads IN NUMBER := 0, buffer_gets IN NUMBER := 0, rows_processed IN NUMBER := 0, optimizer_cost IN NUMBER := 0, executions IN NUMBER := 1, priority IN NUMBER := 2, last_execution_date IN DATE := 'SYSDATE', stat_period IN NUMBER := 0, username IN VARCHAR2, sql_text IN CLOB);
Table 18-3 ADD_SQLWKLD_STATEMENT Procedure Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
|
The workload name that uniquely identifies an existing workload. |
|
An optional business application module that will be associated with the SQL statement. |
|
An optional application action that will be associated with the SQL statement. |
|
The total CPU time in seconds that is consumed by the SQL statement. |
|
The total elapsed time in seconds that is consumed by the SQL statement. |
|
The total disk-read operations that are consumed by the SQL statement. |
|
The total buffer-get operations that are consumed by the SQL statement. |
|
The average number of rows processed by the SQL statement. |
|
The optimizer's calculated cost value. |
|
The total execution count by the SQL statement. This value should be greater than zero. |
|
The relative priority of the SQL statement. The value must be one of the following: 1- |
|
The date and time at which the SQL statement last executed. If the value is |
|
Time interval in seconds from which statement statistics were calculated. |
|
The Oracle user name that executed the SQL statement. Because a username is an Oracle identifier, the username value must be entered exactly as it is stored in the server. For example, if the user |
|
The complete SQL statement. To increase the quality of a recommendation, the SQL statement should not contain bind variables. |
A workload cannot be modified or deleted if it is currently referenced by an active task. A task is considered active if it is not in its initial state. See RESET_TASK Procedure for directions on setting a task to its initial state.
The ADD_SQLWKLD_STATEMENT
procedure accepts several parameters that may be ignored by the caller. cpu_time
, elapsed_time
, disk_reads
, buffer_gets
, and optimizer_cost
are only used to sort workload data when actual analysis occurs, so actual values are only necessary when the order_list
task parameter references a particular statistic.To determine what statistics to provide when adding a new SQL statement to a workload, examine or set the task parameter order_list
. The order_list
parameter accepts any combination of the keys: buffer_gets
, optimizer_cost
, cpu_time
, disk_reads
, elapsed_time
, executions
, and priority
. A typical setting of priority
, optimizer_cost
would indicate the SQL Access Advisor will sort the workload data by priority
and optimizer_cost
and process the highest cost statements first. Any statements added to the workload would need to include appropriate priority
and optimizer_cost
values. All other statistics can be defaulted or set to zero.For the statistical keys referenced by the order_list
task parameter, the actual parameter values should be reasonably accurate since they will be compared to other statements in the workload. If the caller is unable to estimate values, choose values that would determine its importance relative to other statements in the workload. For example, if the current statement is considered the most critical query in your business, then an appropriate value would be anything greater than all other values for the same statistic found in the workload.
DECLARE workload_name VARCHAR2(30); BEGIN workload_name := 'My Workload'; DBMS_ADVISOR.CREATE_SQLWKLD(workload_name, 'My Workload'); DBMS_ADVISOR.ADD_SQLWKLD_STATEMENT(workload_name, 'MONTHLY', 'ROLLUP', 100,400,5041,103,640445,680000,2, 1,SYSDATE,1,'SH','SELECT AVG(amount_sold) FROM sh.sales'); END; /
This procedure establishes a link between the current SQL Access Advisor task and a SQL tuning set. The link enables an advisor task to access data for the purpose of doing an analysis. The link also provides a stable view of the data. Once a connection between a SQL Access Advisor task and a SQL tuning set is made, the STS is protected from removal or modification.
Use ADD_STS_REF
for any STS-based advisor runs. The older method of using ADD_SQLWKLD_REF
with parameter IS_STS=1
is only supported for backward compatibility. Furthermore, the ADD_STS_REF
function accepts a SQL tuning set owner name, whereas ADD_SQLWKLD_REF
does not.
DBMS_ADVISOR.ADD_STS_REF( task_name IN VARCHAR2 NOT NULL, sts_owner IN VARCHAR2, workload_name IN VARCHAR2 NOT NULL);
Table 18-4 ADD_STS_REF Procedure Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
|
The SQL Access Advisor task name that uniquely identifies an existing task. |
|
The owner of the SQL tuning set. The value of this parameter may be |
|
The name of the workload to be linked. A workload consists of one or more SQL statements, plus statistics and attributes that fully describe each statement. The database stores a workload as a SQL tuning set. After a workload has been linked to a task, it becomes read-only and cannot be deleted. There is no limit to the number of links to workloads. To remove the link to the workload, use the procedure |
This procedure causes a currently executing operation to terminate. This call does a soft interrupt. It will not break into a low-level database access call like a hard interrupt such as Ctrl-C
. The SQL Access Advisor periodically checks for soft interrupts and acts appropriately. As a result, this operation may take a few seconds to respond to a call.
A cancel command restores the task to its condition prior to the start of the cancelled operation. Therefore, a cancelled task or data object cannot be resumed.
Because all Advisor task procedures are synchronous, to cancel an operation, you must use a separate database session.
This procedure copies the contents of a SQL workload object to a SQL tuning set.
To use this procedure, the caller must have privileges to create and modify a SQL tuning set.
DBMS_ADVISOR.COPY_SQLWKLD_TO_STS ( workload_name IN VARCHAR2, sts_name IN VARCHAR2, import_mode IN VARCHAR2 := 'NEW');
Table 18-6 COPY_SQLWKLD_TO_STS Procedure Parameter
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
|
The SQL Workload object name to copy. |
|
The SQL tuning set name into which the SQL Workload object will be copied. |
|
Specifies the handling of the target SQL tuning set. Possible values are:
In all cases, if the specified SQL tuning set does not exist, it will be created. |
To use this procedure, the caller must have privileges to create and modify a SQL tuning set.
This procedure creates an external file from a PL/SQL CLOB
variable, which is used for creating scripts and reports. CREATE_FILE
accepts a CLOB
input parameter and writes the character string contents to the specified file.

The attribute parameters have different values depending upon the object type. See Oracle Database Administrator's Guide for details regarding these parameters and object types.
Task objects are typically used as input data for a particular advisor. Segment advice can be generated at the object, segment, or tablespace level. If for the object level, advice is generated on all partitions of the object (if the object is partitioned). The advice is not cascaded to any dependent objects. If for the segment level, advice can be obtained on a single segment, such as the partition or subpartition of a table, index, or LOB
column. If for a tablespace level, target advice for every segment in the tablespace will be generated.
See Oracle Database Administrator's Guide for further information regarding the Segment Advisor.
Note:
This procedure is deprecated in Release 11gR1.This procedure creates a new private SQL Workload object for the user. A SQL Workload object manages a SQL workload on behalf of the SQL Access Advisor. A SQL Workload object must exist prior to performing any other SQL Workload operations, such as importing or updating SQL statements.

The SQL Access Advisor returns a unique workload object identifier number that must be used for subsequent activities within the new SQL Workload object.
By default, workload objects are created using built-in default settings. To create a workload using the parameter settings of an existing workload or workload template, the user may specify an existing workload name.
After a SQL Workload object is present, it can then be referenced by one or more SQL Access Advisor tasks using the ADD_SQLWKLD_REF
procedure.
This procedure creates a new Advisor task in the repository.

|
An optional value that allows the user to set the newly created task as template. Valid values are: |
|
An optional value that identifies how the source was created. |
A task must be associated with an advisor, and once the task has been created, it is permanently associated with the original advisor. By default, tasks are created using built-in default settings. To create a task using the parameter settings of an existing task or task template, the user may specify an existing task name.
For the SQL Access Advisor, use the identifier DBMS_ADVISOR.SQLACCESS_ADVISOR
as the advisor_name
.
The SQL Access Advisor provides three built-in task templates, using the following constants:
DBMS_ADVISOR.SQLACCESS_OLTP
Parameters are preset to favor an OLTP application environment.
DBMS_ADVISOR.SQLACCESS_WAREHOUSE
Parameters are preset to favor a data warehouse application environment.
DBMS_ADVISOR.SQLACCESS_GENERAL
Parameters are preset to favor a hybrid application environment where both OLTP and data warehouse operations may occur. For the SQL Access Advisor, this is the default template.

This procedure shows how to decompose a materialized view into two or more materialized views and to restate the materialized view in a way that is more advantageous for fast refresh and query rewrite. It also shows how to fix materialized view logs and to enable query rewrite.
Table 18-39 TUNE_MVIEW Procedure Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
|
The task name for looking up the results in a catalog view. If not specified, the system will generate a name and return. |
|
The original materialized view creation statement. |
See Also:
Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide for more information about using theTUNE_MVIEW
procedureExecuting TUNE_MVIEW
generates two sets of output results: one is for CREATE
implementation and the other is for undoing the CREATE
MATERIALIZED
VIEW
implementation. The output results are accessible through USER_TUNE_MVIEW
and DBA_TUNE_MVIEW
views. You can also use DBMS_ADVISOR.GET_TASK_SCRIPT
and DBMS_ADVISOR.CREATE_FILE
to output the TUNE_MVIEW
results into a script file for later execution.
USER_TUNE_MVIEW and DBA_TUNE_MVIEW Views
These views are to get the result after executing the TUNE_MVIEW
procedure.
Table 18-40 USER_TUNE_MVIEW and DBA_TUNE_MVIEW Views
Column Name | Column Description |
---|---|
|
The materialized view owner's name. |
|
The task name as a key to access the set of recommendations |
|
Recommendation ID used to indicate the row is for |
|
Action ID used as the command order number. |
|

name VARCHAR2(30); DBMS_ADVISOR.TUNE_MVIEW.(name, 'SELECT AVG(C1) FROM my_fact_table WHERE c10 = 7');
The following is an example to show how to use TUNE_MVIEW
to optimize a CREATE
MATERIALIZED
VIEW
statement:
NAME VARCHAR2(30) := 'my_tune_mview_task'; EXECUTE DBMS_ADVISOR.TUNE_MVIEW (name, 'CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MY_MV REFRESH FAST AS SELECT C2, AVG(C1) FROM MY_FACT_TABLE WHERE C10 = 7 GROUP BY C2');
You can view the CREATE
output results by querying USER_TUNE_MVIEW
or DBA_TUNE_MVIEW
as the following example:
SELECT * FROM USER_TUNE_MVIEW WHERE TASK_NAME='my_tune_mview_task' AND SCRIPT_TYPE='CREATE';
Alternatively, you can save the output results in an external script file as in the following example:
CREATE DIRECTORY TUNE_RESULTS AS ''/myscript_dir'' ; GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY TUNE_RESULTS TO PUBLIC; EXECUTE DBMS_ADVISOR.CREATE_FILE(DBMS_ADVISOR.GET_TASK_SCRIPT('my_tune_mview_task'), - '/homes/tune','my_tune_mview_create.sql');
The preceding statement will save the CREATE
output results in /myscript_dir/my_tune_mview_create.sql
.
This procedure updates an existing task object. Task objects are typically used as input data for a particular advisor. Segment advice can be generated at the object, segment, or tablespace level.
DBMS_ADVISOR.UPDATE_OBJECT ( task_name IN VARCHAR2 object_id IN NUMBER, attr1 IN VARCHAR2 := NULL, attr2 IN VARCHAR2 := NULL, attr3 IN VARCHAR2 := NULL, attr4 IN CLOB := NULL, attr5 IN VARCHAR2 := NULL);
Table 18-41 UPDATE_OBJECT Procedure Parameters

|
Advisor-specific data. If set to null, there will be no effect on the target object. |
The attribute parameters have different values depending upon the object type. See Oracle Database Administrator's Guide for details regarding these parameters and object types.
If for the object level, advice is generated on all partitions of the object (if the object is partitioned). The advice is not cascaded to any dependent objects. If for the segment level, advice can be obtained on a single segment, such as the partition or subpartition of a table, index, or lob column. If for a tablespace level, target advice for every segment in the tablespace will be generated.
See Oracle Database Administrator's Guide for further information regarding the Segment Advisor.
