Select SQL Workload Source

Step one. Before defining a new SQL workload, select the type of source from which you want to collect SQL. You can instruct SQL Optimizer to gather SQL from one of several different sources.

To select a SQL source and create a new session

  1. Select Optimize Indexes.
  2. Click Define New SQL Workload.
  3. Select the type of SQL workload source from which you want to collect SQL. Select from the following:

    SQL Workload Source Description
    AWR

    Collect SQL from the Oracle Automatic Workload Repository (AWR).

    Caution: By default, Oracle installs and enables some features in the database which may not be covered by your existing licenses, such as Automatic Workload Repository (AWR).
    Selecting AWR as a SQL workload source will instruct SQL Optimizer to retrieve SQL from the AWR. Using the AWR may increase your Oracle licensing fees. Being properly licensed by Oracle is your (organization's) responsibility.

    SGA Collect SQL from the Oracle System Global Area.
    Source Code Scan and collect SQL statements from source code, a database object, a file, or the clipboard.
  4. Specify the criteria for collecting a SQL workload. See one of the following topics (based on the source you selected):

    Optimize Indexes for AWR Workload

    Optimize Indexes for SGA Workload

    Optimize Indexes from Scanned Code Workload

Optimize AWR Workload

Steps two, three, and four. The Optimize Indexes module allows you to collect SQL statements from the Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) of an Oracle database. Oracle uses the AWR to collect and maintain performance statistics. By default, every hour an Oracle database collects a snapshot of performance data. These snapshots are stored in the AWR. For more information on Oracle shapshots and the AWR, see your Oracle database documentation.

Use Optimize Indexes to define a SQL workload from an Oracle AWR and then search for new indexes to optimize the SQL workload performance.

Step two.

Define a new AWR workload

  1. If you have already created a new session, skip to 3. Otherwise, select Optimize Indexes. Click Define New SQL Workload.
  2. Click AWR.
  3. Enter a SQL workload name and select a database connection from which to collect SQL. The database must have AWR access.

    Note: Top N SQL displays the Top N setting for the database—the setting which specifies the number of SQL retained in the AWR for each category. If you want to modify this setting for a database, use the MODIFY_SNAPSHOT_SETTINGS system procedure.

  4. Specify SQL filter criteria. Review the following for additional information:

    SQL filter criteria Description

    Date

    Select a date from which to choose snapshots. After you select a date, Optimize Indexes displays all the snapshots available for the selected 24 hour period.

    Select SQL for parsing schema

    You must select a parsing schema before collecting SQL.

    Module, Action

    Use these fields to filter the available SQL before selecting snapshots.

    Default = All

  5. Select the SQL snapshots from which you want to collect SQL statements. Click a snapshot in the graph to select it. Click the selected snapshot again to deselect it.

    Notes:

    • Use the cursor to hover over a snapshot to display snapshot details.
    • Click List snapshot data to display snapshots in a grid format. Right-click a column heading to select options for filtering, sorting, or displaying.
    • You can display additional data in the graph (or in the grid). To do this, select/deselect data options from the group of options at the bottom of the page.

    • Select Total in the data options to display the total activity (the activity for all modules, actions, etc.).
  6. To begin collecting SQL, click configure search process .
  7. Optimize Indexes immediately asks you to choose a second database connection. Select a database connection to use to retrieve execution plans and evaluate index alternatives.

    Note: This step allows you to select an alternate database (other than the one used to collect SQL) to run the index optimization process. In other words, you can collect your SQL from one database, but run the optimize indexes process on a second database. The second database must have the same application environment and data volume statistics as the first.

  8. The Search Process page opens. Proceed with one of the following steps:

Step three.

(Optional) Review collected SQL

  1. To review and modify your SQL workload, click Review/adjust workload SQL. Review the following for additional information:
    Pane / Button Description

    SQL Tuning Set Pane /

    SQL Workload Pane

    This pane displays the list of SQL in the workload.

    Include—To include a SQL statement in the optimize indexes process, select the checkbox in the Include column.

    SQL Text Pane This pane displays the SQL text of the selected SQL statement.
    Parsed Execution Plan Pane

    This pane displays the execution plan of the selected SQL statement.

    SQL Statistics—Select this tab to display statistics of the selected statement.

    Select to send your SQL to Optimize SQL or Batch Optimize SQL. Click the arrow for more options.

    Notes:

    • Click to return to the SQL Collection page. (On the SQL Collection page, click Review SQL to go back to the SQL Review page.)
    • To collect a new SQL workload, return to the SQL Collection page and click Collect SQL again.

      Caution: If you click Collect SQL again, your current SQL workload will be lost, as well as any analysis data already gathered for the current session.

  2. After reviewing the collected SQL, select the Search Process tab to return to the Search Process page.

Step four.

Specify search process criteria

  1. With the Search Process page open, locate the Search Process Control pane. Use these options to specify criteria for SQL Optimizer to use to find new indexes. Review the following for additional information:
    Search Process Control Pane Description

    Primary goal (minimize)

    Select a primary goal. SQL Optimizer evaluates indexes to optimize the workload based on this primary goal.

    Scheduled to run on

    Click the link to schedule a time to run the optimization process on this workload. Select a start time, end time, duration, and interval.

    Stop condition(s)

    Select criteria to determine when to end the optimization process. You can select one or more conditions. The default setting is When no further improvement found in 1:00:00.

    Note: If you do not specify a Stop condition or an End date, the optimization process will run indefinitely.

    Advanced options

    Click this link to select the number of columns in a composite index, the maximum number of indexes to recommend, and an index-type time distribution.

    Recommend function-based indexes—Select this checkbox if you want SQL Optimizer to include function-based indexes.

    Search time distribution between B-Tree and Bitmap indexes—Select a pre-defined or user-defined time distribution. Determines the percentage of time spent searching for B-Tree vs Bitmap index types.
