I attended a session in Oracle Open World 2016 given by Kyle Hailey.

In his presentation Kyle talked about how to measure database performance and what to look for when application is running slow.

I am sharing few notes from his session:

  • Counting is the key to v$active_session_history.

DB Time ~= count(*)

Average Active Session (AAS) = DB Time / elapsed

  • AAS Formulas

AAS < 1 : Database is not blocked

AAS ~= 0 : Database basically idle

AAS < # of CPUs : CPU available

AAS > # of CPUs : Could have performance problems

AAS >> # of CPUS : There is a bottleneck

Kyle provided following github link for all his scripts.

This is the presentation given by him.

Cheers
