Oracle 11.1.0.7 After our upgrade from 10.1.0.3 to 11.1.0.7, we had a small number of queries with performance problems. I did two things to start with. 1. Looked at the plan in a non-production 11g database. 2. I had traces of many of my sqls from 10.1.0.3, loaded then into sql tuning sets into 11g, used the sql tuning advisor through Oracle Grid Control 10.2.0.5 3. Had some testers run through test cases outside of production in an 11g database to test performance there. Used the OEM to dump all of the sql for those session to a file, loaded them to production as sql tunin gsets. I noticed that the join order is slightly different in my 11g testing database. So I am trying to use profiles. I want to test profiles from the 10.1.0.3 database and the 11.1.0.7 test database. (I know there could be data differences from test which is why I have traces from my 10g databases in production before the upgrade). I ran the sql tuning advisor on a number of queries. Oracle recommended profiles for what look to be my problem queries. However, I am noticing something interesting. The SQL_ID I see in the OEM on the page in advisor central where you look at the reports from the SQL Tuning Advisor do not exist in v$sql and do not match my problem SQL. The SQL does appear appear to be exactly the same. I think when I look at dba_sql_profiles the sql_id is in the name as follows: SYS_SQLPROF_012a8f339c4b0001 (after the last_), however, that sql_id does not appear in v$sql. 1. How do I tell if my current sql is using a profile? 2. Am I really getting different SQL_IDs for my problem sql or is that just a sql_id from sql tuning set. For example, I am using my personal DBA account to run the sql tuning advisor. So that would generate a different sql_id. Do I need to run the sql tuning advisor as the problem user?
