Analyzing data using Automatic Workload Repository (AWR)

With Oracle Database 10g, Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) was introduced. It is a tool that extends the key concepts of Statspack.

In this recipe, we will create a manual snapshot, a baseline, and some reports.

Getting ready

To use AWR, the STATISTICS_LEVEL parameter of the init.ora file must be set to the value TYPICAL or ALL.

Note

With the default setting TYPICAL, all the statistics needed for self-management functionalities are collected, providing best overall performance. Using the parameter ALL the database will collect all the statistics included in the TYPICAL settings, as well as timed operating system statistics and row source execution statistics.

We can change the parameter online ...
