Tuning Area View Description

Shared Pool V$sql SQL statement text and statistics

for all cached SQL statements
including I/O, memory usage, and
execution frequency
Shared Pool V$sqlarea Similar to V$SQL , but displays only
information for SQL statements that
are cached in memory, parsed,
and ready for execution
Shared Pool V$sqltext The complete text of the cached SQL
statements along with a
classification by command type
Shared Pool V$sql_plan Execution plan information for each
cached SQL Statement
Shared Pool V$db_object_cache This view can be used to determine
what types of database objects are
being referenced by the
application’s SQL statements. By
selecting the TYPE and EXECUTIONS
columns from this view, you can
obtain a listing of how often the
application SQL has referenced each
of the database object types
SELECT type, COUNT(executions)
FROM v$db_object_cache
GROUP BY type
ORDER BY 2 DESC
Generic V$session Information about currently logged
on user session. Usually joined with
v$process to get more information
about user sessions
