DBA SGA SQL Performance Summary
Description:
Database SQL performance summary from the SGA to give an overview of top SQL load and performance issues. The purpose of this report, compared to ‘DBA AWR SQL Performance Summary’ is to retrieve SQLs which are not in the AWR, either becasue they ran after the most recent snapshot or because their performance impact is too small to be written to the AWR (see topnsql https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/ARPLS/d_workload_repos.htm#ARPLS69140). This is useful for example to: -Identify SQLs executed by a particular program or UI function without running a trace. Navigate to the UI functionality first, then directly after, execute this report and restrict to the module name in question. Sort by column ‘Last Active Time’ -Identify SQLs and example bind variables to reproduce a SQL execution in a DB access tool. Switch parameter ‘Show Bind Values’ to ‘Yes’ -Identify SQLs incorrectly using literals instead of binds. Set parameter ‘Literals Duplication Count’ to a value bigger than zero to show all SQLs which are at least duplicated this numer of times.

Case Study & Technical Analysis
Abstract
The DBA SGA SQL Performance Summary report provides a snapshot of the most resource-intensive SQL statements currently in the database memory. It fills the gap left by AWR reports, which only capture the “Top N” SQLs at hourly intervals. This report is essential for identifying “flash” performance issues—queries that run frequently or poorly for a short period but don’t sustain enough load to be persisted to AWR.
Technical Analysis
Core Features
- Bind Variable Capture: Retrieves values from
GV$SQL_BIND_CAPTURE, allowing developers to reproduce the issue in a separate session with actual data. - Literal Analysis: Includes a “Literals Duplication Count” to identify applications that are failing to use bind variables (hard parse storms), which can devastate CPU and Shared Pool performance.
- Granular Filtering: Allows filtering by module, user, or specific time windows (e.g., “Last Active Time”).
Key Views
GV$SQLAREA: Aggregated statistics for SQL statements (execution count, elapsed time, CPU time).GV$SQL_BIND_CAPTURE: Sampled bind values for the queries.
Operational Use Cases
- Code Review: Identifying SQLs with high
DISK_READSorBUFFER_GETSper execution. - Ad-hoc Tuning: Quickly finding the SQL_ID for a query that a user complains is “slow right now.”
- Security Audit: Checking for SQL injection patterns or unexpected queries from specific modules.
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.
