One of the most useful new features of 11g Grid Control is PL/SQL execution monitoring. Wonder now if a developer wants to know how his PL/SQL procedure did in terms of its SQL and DML statements? What calls did it make and how long it took per call? Beats me is what I would have said before 🙂 Have a look at what Oracle did with 11g Grid Control:
Not only we see the duration of the PL/SQL procedure but we can also see its activites and metrics per SQL call:
We can monitor LIVE either the execution details compared to a previous run with a real time 15 second refresh:
or view its execution details with real time 10 second refresh:
giving us time, wait and io statistics. You can view it or save it in a report format or even mail it directly to the developer!
Good one from Oracle.
How did we do similar things in 8i?
