DBA CPU Benchmark2
Description:
Benchmark report to measure a database server’s CPU speed, mainly for PLSQL processing. This report generates an output file of 200000 records from dual. 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).

Executive Summary
The DBA CPU Benchmark2 report is a simplified version of the CPU benchmark. Instead of joining tables, it generates 200,000 rows directly from DUAL using a CONNECT BY clause. This isolates the performance of the SQL and PL/SQL engines even further, removing any potential dependency on table statistics or data distribution.
Business Challenge
- Pure CPU Testing: “I want to test raw CPU speed without any table I/O interference.”
- Quick Check: “I need a fast test to see if the server is performing normally.”
- Comparison: Comparing results with Benchmark1 to see if table access overhead is a factor.
Solution
This report generates a fixed number of rows using a hierarchical query on DUAL.
Key Features:
- Zero Dependencies: Does not rely on any application tables, only the Oracle data dictionary.
- High Speed: Completes very quickly, allowing for rapid iteration.
- Reference Data: Includes benchmark results for various CPU architectures.
Architecture
The report queries DUAL.
Key Tables:
DUAL: The standard Oracle dummy table.
Impact
- Infrastructure Verification: Quickly validates CPU performance after maintenance or migration.
- Environment Comparison: consistently compares performance across Dev, Test, and Prod environments.
- PL/SQL Efficiency: Measures the raw speed of the PL/SQL output generation process.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
