Trace Files or Fine Grained Access Control: Pros and Cons

The following testing perspectives are provided on using trace files or Fine Grained Access Control (FGAC) when performing database testing.

Trace Files

Pros

  • Benchmark Factory already supports trace files. This was quickest path to creating the original capture and replay feature.

Cons

  • Trace files are big and there can be a large number of them in a database. This requires parsing and processing with potentially excessive meta-data to run.
  • Some DBAs have a negative perception of trace file usage, often related to performance impact on production. Hence, for some, trace file capture might not be a viable option.
  • During the capture process, the entire database (i.e., all sessions) must have their trace file destination directory set to the location where there is sufficient space. For those not doing capture, they might wonder why their files don’t show up where they expect.

Fine Grained Access Control (FGAC)

Pros

  • Fine Grained Access Control is not a trace file. FGAC is a relatively new tool to apply row-level security at the object level.
  • Fine Grained Access Control is more flexible than using trace files in what it can do via its PL/SQL API. FGAC also adds granularity to the testing process.

Cons

  • Fine Grained Access Control is relatively new and not heavily used, so not all DBAs are familiar with it and how it works.
  • Fine Grained Access Control is relatively new, but its use by Oracle DBAs is increasing. Additional information on appropriate use may be required.

 

Change Graph Views

To modify a graph view, right-click a Benchmark Factory graph to display a drop-down list that allows you to customize graph settings. Whether you are viewing a real-time graph or one in Benchmark Factory Run Reports, Benchmark Factory uses the same graphing tool. In most cases you will find that the graphs are presented in the most meaningful form (Line Graphs or Bar Graphs based on the data being presented.)
