DBMS_PROFILER v13
The DBMS_PROFILER package collects and stores performance information about the PL/pgSQL and SPL statements that are executed during a performance profiling session; use the functions and procedures listed below to control the profiling tool.
| Function/Procedure | Return Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
FLUSH_DATA | Status Code or Exception | Flushes performance data collected in the current session without terminating the session (profiling continues). |
GET_VERSION(major OUT, minor OUT) | n/a | Returns the version number of this package. |
INTERNAL_VERSION_CHECK | Status Code | Confirms that the current version of the profiler will work with the current database. |
PAUSE_PROFILER | Status Code or Exception | Pause data collection. |
RESUME_PROFILER | Status Code or Exception | Resume data collection. |
START_PROFILER(run_comment, run_comment1 [, run_number OUT ]) | Status Code or Exception | Start data collection. |
STOP_PROFILER | Status Code or Exception | Stop data collection and flush performance data to the PLSQL_PROFILER_RAWDATA table. |
The functions within the DBMS_PROFILER package return a status code to indicate success or failure; the DBMS_PROFILER procedures raise an exception only if they encounter a failure. The status codes and messages returned by the functions, and the exceptions raised by the procedures are listed in the table below.
| Status Code | Message | Exception | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
-1 | error version | version_mismatch | The profiler version and the database are incompatible. |

1 | error_param | profiler_error | The operation received an incorrect parameter. |
2 | error_io | profiler_error | The data flush operation has failed. |

Using DBMS_PROFILER
The DBMS_PROFILER package collects and stores performance information about the PL/pgSQL and SPL statements that are executed during a profiling session; you can review the performance information in the tables and views provided by the profiler.
DBMS_PROFILER works by recording a set of performance-related counters and timers for each line of PL/pgSQL or SPL statement that executes within a profiling session. The counters and timers are stored in a table named SYS.PLSQL_PROFILER_DATA. When you complete a profiling session, DBMS_PROFILER will write a row to the performance statistics table for each line of PL/pgSQL or SPL code that executed within the session. For example, if you execute the following function:
1 - CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getBalance(acctNumber INTEGER) 2 - RETURNS NUMERIC AS $$ 3 - DECLARE 4 - result NUMERIC; 5 - BEGIN 6 - SELECT INTO result balance FROM acct WHERE id = acctNumber; 7 - 8 - IF (result IS NULL) THEN 9 - RAISE INFO 'Balance is null'; 10- END IF; 11- 12- RETURN result; 13- END; 14- $$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
DBMS_PROFILER adds one PLSQL_PROFILER_DATA entry for each line of code within the getBalance() function (including blank lines and comments). The entry corresponding to the SELECT statement executed exactly one time; and required a very small amount of time to execute. On the other hand, the entry corresponding to the RAISE INFO statement executed once or not at all (depending on the value for the balance column).
Some of the lines in this function contain no executable code so the performance statistics for those lines will always contain zero values.
To start a profiling session, invoke the DBMS_PROFILER.START_PROFILER function (or procedure). Once you've invoked START_PROFILER, Advanced Server will profile every PL/pgSQL or SPL function, procedure, trigger, or anonymous block that your session executes until you either stop or pause the profiler (by calling STOP_PROFILER or PAUSE_PROFILER).
It is important to note that when you start (or resume) the profiler, the profiler will only gather performance statistics for functions/procedures/triggers that start after the call to START_PROFILER (or RESUME_PROFILER).
While the profiler is active, Advanced Server records a large set of timers and counters in memory; when you invoke the STOP_PROFILER (or FLUSH_DATA) function/procedure, DBMS_PROFILER writes those timers and counters to a set of three tables:
SYS.PLSQL_PROFILER_RAWDATAContains the performance counters and timers for each statement executed within the session.
SYS.PLSQL_PROFILER_RUNSContains a summary of each run (aggregating the information found in
PLSQL_PROFILER_RAWDATA).SYS.PLSQL_PROFILER_UNITSContains a summary of each code unit (function, procedure, trigger, or anonymous block) executed within a session.
In addition, DBMS_PROFILER defines a view, SYS.PLSQL_PROFILER_DATA, which contains a subset of the PLSQL_PROFILER_RAWDATA table.
Please note that a non-superuser may gather profiling information, but may not view that profiling information unless a superuser grants specific privileges on the profiling tables (stored in the SYS schema). This permits a non-privileged user to gather performance statistics without exposing information that the administrator may want to keep secret.
Querying the DBMS_PROFILER Tables and View
The following step-by-step example uses DBMS_PROFILER to retrieve performance information for procedures, functions, and triggers included in the sample data distributed with Advanced Server.
- Open the EDB-PSQL command line, and establish a connection to the Advanced Server database. Use an
EXECstatement to start the profiling session:
acctg=# EXEC dbms_profiler.start_profiler('profile list_emp');
EDB-SPL Procedure successfully completedNote
(The call to start_profiler() includes a comment that DBMS_PROFILER associates with the profiler session).
- Then call the
list_empfunction:
acctg=# SELECT list_emp(); INFO: EMPNO ENAME INFO: ----- ------- INFO: 7369 SMITH INFO: 7499 ALLEN INFO: 7521 WARD INFO: 7566 JONES INFO: 7654 MARTIN INFO: 7698 BLAKE INFO: 7782 CLARK INFO: 7788 SCOTT INFO: 7839 KING INFO: 7844 TURNER INFO: 7876 ADAMS INFO: 7900 JAMES INFO: 7902 FORD INFO: 7934 MILLER list_emp ---------- (1 row)
- Stop the profiling session with a call to
dbms_profiler.stop_profiler:
acctg=# EXEC dbms_profiler.stop_profiler; EDB-SPL Procedure successfully completed
- Start a new session with the
dbms_profiler.start_profilerfunction (followed by a new comment):
acctg=# EXEC dbms_profiler.start_profiler('profile get_dept_name and
emp_sal_trig');
EDB-SPL Procedure successfully completed- Invoke the
get_dept_namefunction:
acctg=# SELECT get_dept_name(10); get_dept_name --------------- ACCOUNTING (1 row)
- Execute an
UPDATEstatement that causes a trigger to execute:
acctg=# UPDATE memp SET sal = 500 WHERE empno = 7902; INFO: Updating employee 7902 INFO: ..Old salary: 3000.00 INFO: ..New salary: 500.00 INFO: ..Raise: -2500.00 INFO: User enterprisedb updated employee(s) on 04-FEB-14 UPDATE 1
- Terminate the profiling session and flush the performance information to the profiling tables:
acctg=# EXEC dbms_profiler.stop_profiler; EDB-SPL Procedure successfully completed
- Now, query the
plsql_profiler_runstable to view a list of the profiling sessions, arranged byrunid:
acctg=# SELECT * FROM plsql_profiler_runs;
runid | related_run | run_owner | run_date
| run_comment | run_total_time | run_system_info
| run_comment1 | spare1

(2 rows)- Query the
plsql_profiler_unitstable to view the amount of time consumed by each unit (each function, procedure, or trigger):
acctg=# SELECT * FROM plsql_profiler_units;
runid | unit_number | unit_type | unit_owner |

plsql_profiler_rawdatatable to view a list of the wait event counters and wait event times:
acctg=# SELECT runid, sourcecode, func_oid, line_number, exec_count,
tuples_returned, time_total FROM plsql_profiler_rawdata;
