What is the TKPROF ??!!
The TKPROF program :
converts Oracle trace files into a more readable form. If you have a problem query you can user TKPROF to get more information.
But first you need to enable this tools since its unactivated in oracle to start using it follow the below steps :
1-ALTER SYSTEM SET TIMED_STATISTICS = TRUE;
2-we need table called PLAN_TABLE if its dosen’t found create it by following steps :
@ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\utlxplan.sql
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM PLAN_TABLE FOR SYS.PLAN_TABLE;
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON SYS.PLAN_TABLE TO PUBLIC;
3-after doing the Previous steps , now you can use the amazing tools for example :
ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE = TRUE;
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM dual;
ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE = FALSE;
OR Another Way to trace file :
TKPROF
explain=user/password@service table=sys.plan_table
Output will be like :
********************************************************************************
count = number of times OCI procedure was executed
cpu = cpu time in seconds executing
elapsed = elapsed time in seconds executing
disk = number of physical reads of buffers from disk
query = number of buffers gotten for consistent read
current = number of buffers gotten in current mode (usually for update)
rows = number of rows processed by the fetch or execute call
********************************************************************************
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM dual
call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows
