Lab Exercises
Lab Exercises
Eleven units covering multiple use cases
1. Initialize Environment 9. Use Case: Plugin UPGR into CDB2

10. Alternative: Transportable Export/Import
2. Pre-upgrade: Generate AWR Snapshot
11. Use Case: Unplug Plug Upgrade
3. Pre-upgrade: Capture and Preserve SQL
4. Upgrade: AutoUpgrade
5. Post-Upgrade: AWR Compare Report

6. Post-Upgrade: SQL Performance Analyzer
7. Post-Upgrade: SQL Plan Management
8. Post-Upgrade: SQL Tuning Advisor

SQL Tuning Set | Definition
SQL statement
Context
Statistics
Plans

Collect at least
one full month of workload data
before any upgrade or migration

Workload Information
AWR – Automatic Workload Repository

Change the retention to a minimum of 40 days
exec
dbms_workload_repository.modify_snapshot_settings(
retention=>57600, interval=>30);
Collect SQL statements and plans

Use AWR as main source
Capture from Cursor Cache for OLTP
Collect statements, plans and stats in SQL Tuning Sets

SQL Tuning Advisor | Findings
Types of findings:
1. Collection of object statistics

2. Creation of indexes
3. Rewriting SQL statements
4. Creation of SQL profiles
.... and more
Pro tip: SQL Developer has a good

interface to SQL Tuning Advisor

SQL Profiles | Facts
1. Part of Tuning Pack

• Included in some cloud offerings
2. Stores a set of hints that causes the optimizer to select a plan
3. Affects one statement only

SQL Profiles | Facts
4. You can enable/disable a profile
5. Transparent to application
• Does not require application changes
6. Persistent and transportable

• Documentation
7. Useful with literals using FORCE_MATCH=TRUE
