i tried to run the pkg in sqlplus,

i ran below code after creating a procedure named do_something

DECLARE
  l_result  BINARY_INTEGER;
BEGIN
  l_result := DBMS_PROFILER.start_profiler(run_comment => 'do_something: ' || SYSDATE);
  do_something(p_times => 100);
  l_result := DBMS_PROFILER.stop_profiler;
END;


but it says identifier do_something doesnt exist.

i followed whats given in below site
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/DBMS_PROFILER.php

i created procedure

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE do_something (p_times  IN  NUMBER) AS
  l_dummy  NUMBER;
BEGIN
  FOR i IN 1 .. p_times LOOP
    SELECT l_dummy + 1
    INTO   l_dummy
    FROM   dual;
  END LOOP;
END;



then

DECLARE
  l_result  BINARY_INTEGER;
BEGIN
  l_result := DBMS_PROFILER.start_profiler(run_comment => 'do_something: ' || SYSDATE);
  do_something(p_times => 100);
  l_result := DBMS_PROFILER.stop_profiler;
END;


but it says , Identifier 'do_something' must be declared.

Anyone who finds the missing DO_SOMETHING procedure, please post it here immediately.

should i assume this as a JOKE ?

What could be the answer as you didn't post what is asked:
A STRICT COPY AND PASTE OF YOUR SQL*PLUS SESSION.
Of the WHOLE session we can reproduce.

  3  BEGIN
  4    l_result := DBMS_PROFILER.start_profiler(run_comment => 'do_something: ' || SYSDATE);
  5    do_something(p_times => 100);
  6    l_result := DBMS_PROFILER.stop_profiler;
  7* END;

No you didn't.
See Blackswan anser, this is a copy and paste of SQL*Plus session, your posts are not.

to michel,

you are right.


to swan,

actually i created the procedure in other schema and was running the profiler code in other schema, that is why it was throwing error.

now i created the procedure in the same schema where iam running profiler code. it ran correclty now. but it didnot create records in below given tables :

plsql_profiler_runs;
plsql_profiler_units;
plsql_profiler_data;

then how should i findout the bottlenecks in my procedure??

Quote:
CAn you run it through sqlplus?


as i can run the dbms_profiler in sqlplus now, is there any way to enable profiler in my TOAD??

THANKS
jillu

More often, than not, bad performance is due to poor SQL; not PL/SQL

To find poor SQL do as follows:

ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE=TRUE;
-- invoke suspect code
ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE=FALSE;

now find the trace file within ./udump folder
tkprof <trace_file.trc> trace_results.txt explain=<username>/<password>

post the contents of trace_results.txt back here

Can't tell for sure, but it might depend on TOAD version you own (i.e. base version might not have this option, while more advanced (and more expensive) ones do).

Got it .

To enable the Dbms Profler, we have to run the server side object wizard first.
Also Make sure that GRANT EXECUTE on the DBMS_PROFILER package has been granted to PUBLIC or to the users that will use the profiling feature.
You can do this by selecting Database | Administer | Server Side Objects in Toad's menu bar. When the server side objects window appears click next, fill in the information for a dba user, and click next again. In the Toad Profiler section, check the Add or Recompile TOAD_PROFILER box, depending on which one is available to you. Then finish through the wizard.

thanks
