How to display a SQL execution progress along with execution plan in Oracle?

Problem:

You want to view where Oracle SQL is taking time within a SQL execution plan.

Solution

With Oracle 11g version, we can view SQL execution plan progress while the SQL is running. The “V$SQL_PLAN_MONITOR” view contains a row for each step of a SQL statement’s execution plan. Below SQL will help to view the execution plan along with the progress.

The “V$SQL_PLAN_MONITOR" provides you with information on the steps that are using the most resources. The statistics in "V$SQL_PLAN_MONITOR” are updated every second.

We can also generate a real time text, HTML, or even a XML report of query progress within an execution plan by using the REPORT_SQL_MONITOR function of the DBMS_SQLTUNE package.

Example

select
  a.sid
 ,a.status
 ,to_char(a.sql_exec_start,'yymmdd hh24:mi') start_time
 ,a.plan_line_id
 ,a.plan_operation
 ,a.plan_options
 ,a.output_rows
 ,a.workarea_mem     mem_bytes
 ,a.workarea_tempseg temp_bytes
from v$sql_plan_monitor a
    ,v$sql_monitor      b
where a.status NOT LIKE '%DONE%'
and   a.key = b.key
order by a.sid, a.sql_exec_start, a.plan_line_id;

To generate a HTML report.

Example

SET LINES 3000 PAGES 0 LONG 1000000 TRIMSPOOL ON
SPOOL report.html
select dbms_sqltune.report_sql_monitor(session_id=> 901,
  event_detail => 'YES' ,report_level => 'ALL' ,type => 'HTML'
  )
from dual;
SPOOL OFF;
