AWR Reporting
Recall that the dba_hist views are
built from their wrh$ equivalents. These views provide
the data source for a wealth of customizable reports for
identification of trends and time-series performance
optimization. This type of reporting identifies signatures
or
regularly repeating patterns that are unique to the
database instance.
Once the DBA understands the patterns for
the important metrics, he or she can use the Oracle Database 10g
scheduler to re-allocate system resources just-in-time for the
repeating event.
All queries against the dba_hist
views require a join into the dba_hist_snapshot view,
which is the main anchor for the AWR history views. In the
following figure, the anchor view and samples of summary and
detail dba_hist views are shown:
