DBA_HIST_UNDOSTAT

DBA_HIST_UNDOSTAT displays the history of histograms of statistical data to show how well the system is working. The available statistics include undo space consumption, transaction concurrency, and length of queries executed in the instance. This view contains snapshots of V$UNDOSTAT.


Column Datatype NULL Description

BEGIN_TIME

DATE

NOT NULL

Identifies the beginning of the time interval

END_TIME

DATE

NOT NULL

Identifies the end of the time interval

DBID

NUMBER

NOT NULL

Database ID for the snapshot

INSTANCE_NUMBER

NUMBER

NOT NULL

Instance number for the snapshot

SNAP_ID

NUMBER

NOT NULL

Unique snapshot ID

UNDOTSN

NUMBER

NOT NULL

Represents the last active undo tablespace in the duration of time. The tablespace ID of the active undo tablespace is returned in this column. If more than one undo tablespace was active in that period, the active undo tablespace that was active at the end of the period is reported.

UNDOBLKS

NUMBER

 

Represents the total number of undo blocks consumed. You can use this column to obtain the consumption rate of undo blocks, and thereby estimate the size of the undo tablespace needed to handle the workload on your system.

TXNCOUNT

NUMBER

 

Identifies the total number of transactions executed within the period

MAXQUERYLEN

NUMBER

 

Identifies the length of the longest query (in number of seconds) executed in the instance during the period. You can use this statistic to estimate the proper setting of the UNDO_RETENTION initialization parameter. The length of a query is measured from the cursor open time to the last fetch/execute time of the cursor. Only the length of those cursors that have been fetched/executed during the period are reflected in the view.

MAXQUERYSQLID

VARCHAR2(13)

 

SQL identifier of the longest running SQL statement in the period

MAXCONCURRENCY

NUMBER

 

Identifies the highest number of transactions executed concurrently within the period

UNXPSTEALCNT

NUMBER

 

Number of attempts to obtain undo space by stealing unexpired extents from other transactions

UNXPBLKRELCNT

NUMBER

 

Number of unexpired blocks removed from certain undo segments so they can be used by other transactions

UNXPBLKREUCNT

NUMBER

 

Number of unexpired undo blocks reused by transactions

EXPSTEALCNT

NUMBER

 

Number of attempts to steal expired undo blocks from other undo segments

EXPBLKRELCNT

NUMBER

 

Number of expired undo blocks stolen from other undo segments

EXPBLKREUCNT

NUMBER

 

Number of expired undo blocks reused within the same undo segments

SSOLDERRCNT

NUMBER

 

Identifies the number of times the error ORA-01555 occurred. You can use this statistic to decide whether the UNDO_RETENTION initialization parameter is set properly given the size of the undo tablespace. Increasing the value of UNDO_RETENTION can reduce the occurrence of this error.

NOSPACEERRCNT

NUMBER

 

Identifies the number of times space was requested in the undo tablespace and there was no free space available. That is, all of the space in the undo tablespace was in use by active transactions. The corrective action is to add more space to the undo tablespace.

ACTIVEBLKS

NUMBER

 

Total number of blocks in the active extents of the undo tablespace for the instance at the sampled time in the period

UNEXPIREDBLKS

NUMBER

 

Total number of blocks in the unexpired extents of the undo tablespace for the instance at the sampled time in the period

EXPIREDBLKS

NUMBER

 

Total number of blocks in the expired extents of the undo tablespace for the instance at the sampled time in the period

TUNED_UNDORETENTION

NUMBER

 

System tuned value indicating the period for which undo is being retained

CON_DBID

NUMBER

 

The database ID of the PDB for the sampled session

CON_ID

NUMBER

 

The ID of the container that CON_DBID identifies. Possible values include:

  • 0: This value is used for rows containing data that pertain to the entire CDB. This value is also used for rows in non-CDBs.

  • 1: This value is used for rows containing data that pertain to only the root

  • n: Where n is the applicable container ID for the rows containing data
