DBA CPU Benchmark1 – Oracle EBS SQL Report

Oracle E-Business Suite SQL report from the Enginatics Library powered by Blitz Report™.

Overview

Benchmark report to measure a database server’s CPU speed, mainly for PLSQL processing. This report generates an output file of 500000 out of a total of 561495 records from a cartesian product based on EBS standard FND tables. These tables contain the same data for all EBS clients and the report can be used as a benchmark to test the database server’s CPU performance. As the query itself should complete in less than a second, most of the execution time is spend in PLSQL code to generate the Blitz Report output file. To measure meaningful results, there should be enough SGA memory assigned to ensure that the execution time is entirely spent on CPU and not IO related wait events (to be confirmed using the DBA SGA Active Session History report).

Running This SQL Without Blitz Report

Some Oracle EBS SQL reports in this library require functions from the utility package xxen_util. Install it before running the SQL directly against your Oracle EBS database.

Executive Summary

The DBA CPU Benchmark1 report is a synthetic benchmark designed to measure the single-threaded CPU performance of the database server. It generates a large dataset (500,000 rows) by creating a Cartesian product of standard Oracle EBS tables (FND_LANGUAGES, FND_CURRENCIES, FND_APPLICATION). The execution time is dominated by the PL/SQL engine’s ability to process these rows and generate the output, making it a good proxy for PL/SQL performance.

Business Challenge

Solution

This report runs a query that forces the database to do significant work (generating rows) and measures the elapsed time.
