Example output from the script in Source 11 is
shown in Listing 16. In the example report no one user is really
hogging the SQL area. If you have a particular user that is hogging
SQL areas, the script in Source 12 will show you what SQL areas they
have and what is in them. This report on the actual SQL area contents
can then be used to help teach the user how to better construct
reusable SQL statements.

Listing 16. Example Output From Source 11
In the example output we see that JSMITH user
holds the most SQL areas and our SNMP user, DBSNMP holds the least.
Usually the application owner will hold the largest section of memory
in a well designed system, followed by ad-hoc users using properly
designed SQL. In a situation where users aren't using properly
designed SQL statements the ad-hoc users will usually have the largest
number of SQL areas and show the most memory usage as is shown in this
example. Again, the script in Source 12 shows the actual in memory SQL
areas for a specific user. Listng 17 shows the example output from a
report run against GRAPHICS_USER in my test database using the script
in Source 12.

Listing 17: Report Output Example For a Users SQL Area
One warning about the script in Source 12, the
report it generates can run to several hundred pages for a user with a
large number of SQL areas. What things should you watch for in a
user's SQL areas?
* Watch for the non-use of bind variables,
bind variable usage is shown by the inclusion of variables such as
":1" or ":B" in the SQL text.
* Watch for repetitive nearly identical SQL
statements, notice the last several lines in the report in listing 17
for example.
* Watch for repetitive use of identical fixed
SELECT statements, perhaps they can be moved into views.
* Watch for statements that are reloaded
frequently
Notice that in the example report in Listing
17 the first four statements use bind variables, and, consequently are
reusable. Non-bind usage means hard coded values such as 'Missing' or
'10' are used. Notice that for most of the rest of the statements in
the report no bind variables are used even though many of the SQL
statements are nearly identical. This is one of the leading causes of
shared pool misuse and results in useful SQL being drown in tons of
non-reusable garbage SQL. Frequently reload of statements is an
indication that the shared pool may be too small. Consider if the
object showing reloads should be pinned into the SGA.
The problem with non-reusable SQL is that it
must still be looked at by any new SQL inserted into the pool
(actually its hash value is scanned). While a hash value scan may seem
a small cost item, if your shared pool contains tens of thousands of
SQL areas this can be a performance bottleneck. How can we determine,
without running the report in Source 12 for each of possibly hundreds
of users, if we have garbage SQL in the shared pool?
The script in Source 13 shows a view that
provides details on individual user's SQL area reuse. The view can be
tailored to your environment if the limit on reuse (currently set at
1) is too restrictive. For example, in a recent tuning assignment
resetting the value to 12 resulting in nearly 70 percent of the SQL
being rejected as garbage SQL, in DSS or data warehouse systems where
rollups are performed by the month, bi-monthly or weekly, values of
12, 24 or 52 might be advisable. Source 14 shows a report script that
uses the view created in Source 13.
