Re: Best way to calc transactions for the month

Moving to 10g is on the schedule for late this year.  However, if I don't
get some time to plan and test some time soon, it may have to wait until
next year.  I'm so busy right now that they are definitely planning to hire
a junior DBA some time this year to assist me.  Plus the president of the
company has now decided that I need to be moved into more of a
management/planning role.  Not sure what I did to deserve THAT punishment!
And this from a company that didn't think they needed a full-time DBA just a
year ago.  My how things change in a year.

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions.

trying to get a rough measure of how accurate a set of benchmark tests
that
Development wrote approximated the production workload of our OLTP
environment.
As an initial sanity check of the benchmarks, I decided to use the ratio
of
INSERTS vs SELECTS (turns out they were doing 2.5x the peak load of
SELECTS and
like 10x the peak load of INSERTS).  Unfortunately, even as I was putting
together this solution for you, I looked back at your email and realized
that
you're on 9i.  Doh!  But maybe you plan on upgrading to 10G soon.  If you
do, you
can do something similar to this.

select dhsnap.snap_id, to_char(begin_interval_time, 'DD-MON-RR HH24:MI')
snap_time, sum(dhss.executions_delta)
from dba_hist_sqlstat dhss, dba_hist_sqltext dhst, dba_hist_snapshot
dhsnap
where dhss.sql_id = dhst.sql_id
and   dhss.parsing_schema_name = 'APPLICATION_SCHEMA_NAME'
and   upper(dhst.sql_text) like '%INSERT%'
and   dhsnap.snap_id = dhss.snap_id
and   begin_interval_time > sysdate -10
group by dhsnap.snap_id, to_char(begin_interval_time, 'DD-MON-RR HH24:MI')
order by dhsnap.snap_id;

This query returns the number of INSERT statements that were executed by a
particular user (APPLICATION_SCHEMA_NAME) during each snapshot interval
over the
past 10 days.  For SELECT statements, just modify the LIKE against the
sql_text.
This is easily modified to aggregate it over any time period.  How far
back you
can go is dependent on your AWR retention period.

You may be able to approximate something similar to this in 9i by creating
your
own periodic job that scans thru v$sql and stores execution counts/deltas
of
different SQL types over periodic intervals and stores them in a table.

FYI: DBA_HIST views technically require a Diagnostics Pack license.

Well, if you look at Statspack snapshots, that will give you transaction
rate, but it won't include selects.  If I recall correctly, it looks at
the user rollbacks and user commits statistics.  In fact, it will count
transactions, which could be made up of many DML statements.

Hmm...I can't think of any good way to do this, short of turning on
trace or auditing, and summarizing data from there.

Any chance you can talk him out of asking for what he's asking for? ;-)
It's almost certainly not at all meaningful or useful, but convincing
him of that may be a political and diplomatic challenge...;-)

Subject: Best way to calc transactions for the month


The president of the company would like to know how many transactions
per month are running through the database.  He wants to include all
selects, inserts, updates, and deletes.  What would be the best way to
gather this information.  Is there a way I can easily break it down by
each type of transaction?
