转://11g之后，通过v$wait_chains视图诊断数据库hang和Contention

1g之前，通常我们数据库hang住了之后，我们会对数据库做hang analyze来进行分析，在11g之后，我们可以通过一个新的视图v$wait_chains来诊断数据库hang和contention。在11gR1这个版本里面，Oracle通过diag进程实现了一个功能，每隔3秒做一次本地的hang analyze，每隔10秒做一次global的hang analyze。而这些信息会存放在内存里面，Oracle把这一块内存称作”hang analysis cache”。而这一部分内存信息，对我们数据库诊断hang和contention起着非常重要的作用。而数据库还有一些特性及工具也需要使用这块内存区域。比如Hang Management, Resource Manager Idle Blocker Kill, SQL Tune Hang Avoidance和pmon清除，还有一些外部工具如Procwatcher。

我们看一下v$wait_chains视图的定义。以11gR2为例。

继续查询该视图的定义。可以发现该数据来自于基表x$ksdhng_chains。因为前面介绍过进程会10秒做一次global的hang，所以这个视图是包含了全局的信息的。虽然它是v$开头的。

SQL> select * from V$FIXED_VIEW_DEFINITION where view_name like '%WAIT_CHAINS%';

Oracle在mos上提供了一些脚本来做一些信息诊断。一种是普通版本的都可以使用的，还有一种是11gR2专用的。因为在11gR2的v$session视图中有一个字段叫final_blocking_session,这个字段能够去查看最上层的阻塞者。最终的blocker一般都处于wait_chain的顶端。这样的session才会引起问题。我们先来看看普通的查询.首先随便制造两个session共同更新一行的情况。

SQL> SELECT chain_id, num_waiters, in_wait_secs, osid, blocker_osid, substr(wait_event_text,1,30)
  FROM v$wait_chains;

  CHAIN_ID NUM_WAITERS IN_WAIT_SECS OSID                      BLOCKER_OSID              SUBSTR(WAIT_EVENT_TEXT,1,30)
---------- ----------- ------------ ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
            8 31377                     31447                     enq: TX - row lock contention
           15 31447                                               SQL*Net message from client

接下来在执行下一个基础的格式化后的脚本.

 WHERE ROWNUM < 101;

最终结果如下图所示，我们能够清楚的看到进程31447阻塞了进程31377。进程31377在等待enq: TX – row lock contention。

基于11gR2的查询

使用final_blocking_session字段，能查到最上端的阻塞进程。

这里可以看到当前会话是2395在等待enq: TM – contention，而它的*阻塞者是2309。通过这些脚本我们能够方便的进行查询，能够方便的找到谁是阻塞者，甚至是最上层的阻塞者。当然在我们的diaghang.sql的脚本里面，我们看到了下列内容。这里Oracle通过我们内存直接访问，从x$ksdhng_chains里面把chain的信息全部获取出来，用于最终的hang分析的诊断。
