ASH AND AWR PERFORMANCE
TUNING SCRIPTS
Posted by Gavin Soorma

ASH, awr, Performance Tuning, scripts
Listed below are some SQL queries which I find
particularly useful for performance tuning. These
are based on the Active Session History V$ View to
get a current perspective of performance and the
DBA_HIST_* AWR history tables for obtaining
performance data pertaining to a period of time in
the past.
I would like to add that these queries have been
customised by me based on SQL scripts obtained
from colleagues and peers. So if I am infringing any
copyright material let me know and I shall remove
the same. Also If anyone has any similar useful
scripts to contribute for use by the community do
send it to me and I shall include the same on this
page
