I'm using oracle db. I want to be able to count the number of times that a SQL statement was executed in X hours. For instance, how many times has the statement Select * From ExampleTable been executed in the past 5 hours?
I tried looking in V$SQL, V$SQLSTATS, V$SQLAREA, but they only keep a record of a statement's total amount of executions. They don't store what times the individual executions occurred. Is there any view I missed, or something else that does keep track of each individual statement execution + timestamp so that I can query by which have occurred X hours ago? Thanks for the help.
The views in the Active Workload Repository store historical SQL execution information, specifically the view DBA_HIST_SQLSTAT.
The view is not perfect; it contains a summary of the top SQL statements. This is almost perfect information for performance tuning - in practice, sampling will catch any performance problem. But if you're looking for a perfect record of every SQL execution, as far as I know the only way to get that information is through tracing, which is buggy and slow.
Hopefully this query is good enough:
select begin_interval_time, end_interval_time, executions_delta, dba_hist_sqlstat.*
from dba_hist_sqlstat
join dba_hist_snapshot
on dba_hist_sqlstat.snap_id = dba_hist_snapshot.snap_id
and dba_hist_sqlstat.instance_number = dba_hist_snapshot.instance_number
order by begin_interval_time desc, sql_id;
Apologies for putting this in an answer instead of a comment (I don't have the required reputation), but I think you may be out of luck. Here is an AskTOM asking basically the same question: AskTOM. Tom says unless you are using ASH that just isn't something the database is designed to do.

I got some problems with my SQL Server. Some external queries write into the Temp db and every 2-3 days it is full and we have to restart the SQL database. I got who is active on it. And also we can check monitor it over grafana. So I get a exact time when the query starts to write a lot of data into the temp db. Can someone give me a tip on how I can search for the user when I get the exact time?
select top 40 User_Account, start_date, tempdb_allocations
from Whoisactive
order by tempdb_allocation, desc
where start_date between ('15-02-2023 14:12:14.13' and '15-02-2023 15:12:14.13')
User_Account
Start_Date
tempdb_allocations

I would add this as a comment but I don’t have the necessary reputation points.
At any rate - you might find this helpful.
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/182596/temp-tables-in-tempdb-are-not-cleaned-up-by-the-system
It isn’t without its own drawbacks but I think that if the alternative is restarting the server every 2 or 3 days this may be good enough.
It might also be helpful if you add some more details about the jobs that are blowing up your tempdb.
Is this problematic job calling your database once a day? Once a minute? More?
I ask because if it’s more like once a day then I think the answer in the link is more likely to be helpful.
I have situation need to execute patch script for million row of data.The current query execution time is not meet the expectation for few rows (18000) which is take around 4 hours( testing data before deploy for live ).
The patch script actually select million row of data in loop and update according to the specification , im just wonder how long it could take for million row of data since it take around 4 hour for just 18000 rows.
to overcome this problem im decided to create temp table hold the entire select statement data and proceed with the patch process using the temp table where the process could be bit faster compare select and update.
is there any other ways i can use to handle this situation ? Any suggestion and ways to solve this.
(Due to company policy im unable to post the PL/SQl script here )
seems there is no one can answer my question here i post my answer.
In oracle there is Parallel Execution which is allows spreading the processing of a single SQL statement across multiple threads.
So by using this method i solved my long running query (4 hours ) to 6 minz ..
For more information :

This is a 4 part question
What is the logic behind SQL_ID. . . Does the value change for the same SQL over time? Does it persists between DB Restarts? Or every plan change gives a new SQL_ID?
How can i check the plan change history for a particular query? Given the SQL_ID i tried querying dba_hist_sqlstat table but it does not give the time of plan change and other details so as to be able to match with the v$sql_plan table.
I have the parameter optimizer_mode set to FIRST_ROWS. Even then when is see the table dba_hist_sqlstat, it indicate ALL_ROWS for some SQL_IDs . . . Can oracle disregard the instance level parameter to use what it deems most suitable?
Between 8PM and 2 PM a query was performing badly. Taking 6 seconds for its execution. After 3 PM the query started responding in < 1 Second. I have the AWR report for the periods that shows this detail. There was no difference in load on the DB in these 2 periods. How could i arrive at the root of this? I am trying to find the History of the plan change but appreciate more feedback to best analyze such issues.
The DB Version is Oracle 10.1.0.4 running on AIX 5.3 64b
1.- SQLID is calculated with a hash function based on the actual SQL text, it shouldnt change with restart or between databases at least the same versions, different oracle versions could have different hashing functions right?, so as long as you do not change the sql text (this includes blanks commas and everything) SQLID will remain the same.
2.- Use DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_AWR to display all plans for a SQL_ID: select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_awr(sql_id => '[your SQL_ID]'));
3.- Oracle will only do this if a query has an OPTIMIZER GOAL hint in it.
4.- There are many things in play for this one. I would start by looking at top 5 timed events in AWR for both periods of time. If they are alike, I would then go investigate the PLAN history for the statement, see if it changed during periods and how data behaved during the periods as well. One of these three should give you the answer.
I have an INSERT query in Oracle 10g that is getting stuck on a "SQL*Net message from dblink" event. It looks like:
INSERT INTO my_table (A, B, C, ...)
SELECT A, B, C, ... FROM link_table#other_system;
I do not see any locks on my_table besides the one from the INSERT I'm trying to do. The SELECT query on link_table#other_system completes without any trouble when run on its own. I only get this issue when I try to do the INSERT.
Does anyone know what could be going on here?
UPDATE
The SELECT returns 4857 rows in ~1.5 mins when run alone. The INSERT was running over an hour with this wait message before I decided to kill it.
UPDATE
I found an error in my methods. I was using a date range to limit the results. The date range I used when testing the SELECT only was before the last OraStats run on the link_table, but the date range that I used when testing the INSERT was after the last OraStats run on the link_table. So, that mislead me to believe there was a problem with the INSERT. Not very scientific of me to do this; my mistake.
SQL*Net message from dblink generally means that your local system is waiting on the network to transfer the data across the network. It's a very normal wait event for this sort of query.
How many rows does the SELECT statement return? How much data (in MB/ GB) does that represent?
When you say that it "completes without any trouble on its own", are you actually fetching all the data? If you're using something like TOAD or SQL Developer, the GUI will generally fetch the first N rows and return to you. That can be very quick but it doesn't imply that the database is done executing the query-- it may take much more time to finish producing all the rows your query is going to return. It's pretty common for people to measure the time required to fetch the first N rows rather than the time to fetch the last row-- your INSERT statement, obviously, can't return until all the rows have been fetched from the remote table.
Are you using a /*+ driving_site(link_table) */ hint to make Oracle perform the joins on the remote server?
If so, that hint will not work with DML, as explained by Jonathan Lewis on this page.
This may be a rare case where running the query just as a SELECT uses a very different plan than running the query as part of an INSERT. (You will definitely want to learn how to generate explain plans in your environment. Most tools have a button to do this.)
As Andras Gabor recommended in the link, you may want to use PL/SQL BULK COLLECT to improve performance. This may be a rare case where PL/SQL will work faster than SQL.
As part of a data analysis project, I will be issuing some long running queries on a mysql database. My future course of action is contingent on the results I obtain along the way. It would be useful for me to be able to view partial results generated by a SELECT statement that is still running.
Is there a way to do this? Or am I stuck with waiting until the query completes to view results which were generated in the very first seconds it ran?
Thank you for any help : )
In general case the partial result cannot be produced. For example, if you have an aggregate function with GROUP BY clause, then all data should be analysed, before the 1st row is returned. LIMIT clause will not help you, because it is applied after the output is computed. Maybe you can give a concrete data and SQL query?
One thing you may consider is sampling your tables down. This is good practice in data analysis in general to get your iteration speed up when you're writing code.
For example, if you have table create privelages and you have some mega-huge table X with key unique_id and some data data_value
If unique_id is numeric, in nearly any database
create table sample_table as
select unique_id, data_value
from X
where mod(unique_id, <some_large_prime_number_like_1013>) = 1
will give you a random sample of data to work your queries out, and you can inner join your sample_table against the other tables to improve speed of testing / query results. Thanks to the sampling your query results should be roughly representative of what you will get. Note, the number you're modding with has to be prime otherwise it won't give a correct sample. The example above will shrink your table down to about 0.1% of the original size (.0987% to be exact).
Most databases also have better sampling and random number methods than just using mod. Check the documentaion to see what's available for your version.
Hope that helps,

It depends on what your query is doing. If it needs to have the whole result set before producing output - such as might happen for queries with group by or order by or having clauses, then there is nothing to be done.
If, however, the reason for the delay is client-side buffering (which is the default mode), then that can be adjusted using "mysql-use-result" as an attribute of the database handler rather than the default "mysql-store-result". This is true for the Perl and Java interfaces: I think in the C interface, you have to use an unbuffered version of the function that executes the query.
