    This topic describes the views that you can use to diagnose and analyze analytical processing (AP) performance issues.

    GV$SQL_WORKAREA

    Overview

    The GV$SQL_WORKAREA view displays the workarea statistics of all operators subject to automatic SQL memory management.

    You can query this view for the memory usage of each operator in the execution plan and the amount of data flushed to the disk. Based on the data of this view, you can properly modify the sql_work_area parameter for a tenant so that the plan can be completely executed in memory to improve query performance.

    Common columns

    Column
    Description
    CHILD_NUMBER The ID of the plan to which the operator belongs.
    OPERATION_TYPE The name of the physical operator.
    OPERATION_ID The ID of the physical operator.
    LAST_MEMORY_USED The average memory usage of the operator in the last execution.
    LAST_DEGREE The degree of parallelism (DOP) of the operator in the last execution.
    LAST_TEMPSEG_SIZE The average amount of data flushed to the disk in the last execution of the operator.
    MAX_TEMPSEG_SIZE The maximum amount of data flushed to the disk in all executions of the operator.

    Example

    select CHILD_NUMBER,OPERATION_TYPE,OPERATION_ID,LAST_MEMORY_USED,LAST_DEGREE,MAX_TEMPSEG_SIZE,LAST_TEMPSEG_SIZE from oceanbase.gv$sql_workarea where sql_id='80FAF8DB736A82604D54DD82005238EC';

    GV$SQL_PLAN_MONITOR

    Overview

    The GV$SQL_PLAN_MONITOR view displays plan-level statistics about slow queries on all OBServer nodes. Each slow query corresponds to one row in this view. It also records trace information of the plan.

    Example

    Query the execution information of a slow SQL statement for analysis.

    1. Add the /* + monitor */ hint to the slow SQL statement.
    2. Execute the slow SQL statement with the hint, find the trace ID, and replace Yxxxxxxxxx in the following code with the trace ID.
    3. Execute the following SQL statement to store the return result for analysis.
    -- Note: `open_dt` indicates the interval from when the operator is opened to when the operator is closed.
    -- Note: `row_dt` indicates the interval from when the operator generates the first row to when the operator generates `OB_ITER_END`.
    -- Note: If the value of `row_dt` is `NULL`, the operator has not generated the first row or `OB_ITER_END`.

    GV$OB_SQL_AUDIT

    Overview

    The GV$OB_SQL_AUDIT view displays the statistics about each SQL request on all OBServer nodes, such as the source, execution status, resource usage, and wait time. It also records key information such as the SQL text and execution plans. This view is tenant-specific, and you can query this view of other tenants only from the sys tenant.

    Example

    You can query the GV$OB_SQL_AUDIT view for execution information of SQL statements in various dimensions.

    Query SQL statements whose execution time exceeds 100 ms.

    select request_id,usec_to_time(request_time),ELAPSED_TIME,QUEUE_TIME,EXECUTE_TIME,query_sql
    from v$OB_SQL_AUDIT where ELAPSED_TIME > 100000 limit 10;

    Query SQL statements that occupy the most resources of a tenant. The SQL statements are sorted in descending order by the amount of resources occupied, which is calculated by using the following formula: Execution time × Number of executions. If CPU resources of the tenant are fully used, you can use the following statement to check whether the issue is caused by SQL statements and if yes, query the suspicious SQL statements.

    Note

    • When an SQL response time (RT) jitter occurs in a tenant, the CPU resource of the tenant is fully used and the RT of all SQL statements soars. In this case, you must first determine whether the issue is caused by the SQL statements or other problems.
    • The SQL statement described in the preceding example is quite useful. It aggregates executed SQL statements based on SQL_ID values and sorts the statements in descending order by the amount of resources occupied, which is the product of avg_exec_time multiplied by cnt. This way, you can check the top SQL statements for exceptions.
