Oracle Query Performance Optimization
Transform slow Oracle SQL queries into high-performance statements. Our AI analyzes execution plans and provides optimization recommendations.
Performance Analysis Features
1. Execution Plan Analysis
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
SELECT d.department_name,
COUNT(*) as employee_count,
AVG(e.salary) as avg_salary
FROM employees e
JOIN departments d ON e.department_id = d.department_id
GROUP BY d.department_name;
SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);
SELECT
d.department_name,
COUNT(*) as employee_count,
AVG(e.salary) as avg_salary
FROM departments d
JOIN employees e ON e.department_id = d.department_id
GROUP BY
2. Index Recommendations
SELECT i.table_name,
i.index_name,
i.column_name,
i.column_position,
t.num_rows,
t.avg_row_len,
i.clustering_factor
FROM user_ind_columns i
JOIN user_tables t ON i.table_name = t.table_name
WHERE i.table_name = 'EMPLOYEES'
ORDER BY i.index_name, i.column_position;
CREATE INDEX emp_salary_dept_idx ON employees(department_id, salary);
CREATE INDEX emp_hire_date_idx ON employees(hire_date)
Query Optimization Techniques
1. Join Optimization
SELECT c.customer_name,
o.order_date,
p.product_name,
oi.quantity
FROM customers c
JOIN orders o ON c.customer_id = o.customer_id
JOIN order_items oi ON o.order_id = oi.order_id
JOIN products p ON oi.product_id = p.product_id
WHERE o.order_date >= ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, -6);
SELECT
c.customer_name,
o.order_date,
p.product_name,
oi.quantity
FROM orders o
JOIN order_items oi ON o.order_id = oi.order_id
JOIN products p ON oi.product_id = p.product_id
JOIN customers c ON o.customer_id = c.customer_id
WHERE o.order_date >= ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, -6)
2. Subquery Optimization
SELECT e.employee_id,
e.first_name,
e.salary
FROM employees e
WHERE e.salary > (
SELECT AVG(salary)
FROM employees
WHERE department_id = e.department_id
);
SELECT employee_id,
first_name,
salary
FROM (
SELECT employee_id,
first_name,
salary,
AVG(salary) OVER (PARTITION BY department_id) as dept_avg_salary
FROM employees
) e
WHERE
Performance Monitoring
1. Query Statistics
SELECT sql_id,
executions,
elapsed_time/1000000 as elapsed_seconds,
(elapsed_time/1000000)/NULLIF(executions,0) as avg_seconds,
buffer_gets/NULLIF(executions,0) as avg_buffer_gets,
disk_reads/NULLIF(executions,0) as avg_disk_reads,
rows_processed/NULLIF(executions,0) as avg_rows,
sql_text
FROM v$sql
WHERE parsing_schema_name = USER
AND last_active_time > SYSDATE - 1/24
ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC
2. Resource Usage
SELECT ss.username,
ss.sql_id,
ss.event,
ss.wait_class,
ss.seconds_in_wait,
ss.state
FROM v$session ss
WHERE ss.status = 'ACTIVE'
AND ss.username IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY ss.seconds_in_wait DESC
Memory Optimization
1. Buffer Cache Analysis
SELECT a.name,
b.size_for_estimate,
round(b.buffers_for_estimate) buffers_for_estimate,
round(b.estd_physical_read_factor,2) estd_physical_read_factor,
round(b.estd_physical_reads,2) estd_physical_reads
FROM v$db_cache_advice b,
v$database a
WHERE b.name = 'DEFAULT'
AND b.block_size = (SELECT value FROM v$parameter WHERE name = 'db_block_size')
ORDER BY
2. PGA Management
SELECT name,
value/1024/1024 as value_mb
FROM v$pgastat
WHERE unit = 'bytes'
ORDER BY value DESC
Best Practices
1. Query Design
Use appropriate indexes
Optimize JOIN order
Avoid function calls on indexed columns
Use bind variables
2. Performance Tuning
Regular statistics updates
Monitor execution plans
Use hints sparingly
Implement result caching
3. Resource Management
Configure proper memory settings
Monitor system resources
Implement connection pooling
Use result cache when appropriate
