I posted this a while back with a lot more text and I don't think it ever
posted, perhaps I was hitting some size limit. So here is the really short
version. It occurred to me that a good way to find SQL which Oracle may be
coming up with the wrong plan for is to compare the cost to the elapsed
time. If the elapsed time per unit of cost is much higher than normal then
Oracle might be using the wrong plan. The query below was my attempt to
locate such SQL. Has anyone ever tried this?
-- Tested on 9ir2
col address format a30
col cost format 99990.999
col elap_sec_per_cost format 99990.999
select a.address,
a. cost,
round(b.elap_time_per_exe/100000/a.cost ,3) elap_sec_per_cost
from
(select address,sum(cost) cost from v$sql_plan
where cost is not null group by address) a,
(select address, decode(executions,0,0,elapsed_time/executions)
elap_time_per_exe from v$sqlarea) b
where a.address=b.address
order by 3 desc;
address cost elap_sec_per_cost
