What is the equivalent of SQL Profiler in Oracle?

Question

I am new to Oracle DB. I have used SQL Management Studio extensively. I have used SQL profiler. SQL profiler lists all the queries executed whenever there is a database call. I need similar option in Oracle.

Answer 1

There is probably no direct equivalent. So a few things.

1. It's probably more effective to state what you are trying to achieve, rather that asking for a specific tool or piece of functionality
2. For System wide monitoring, there is Enterprise Manager (EM) and EM Express.
   • EM gives you access to the Automatic Workload Repository (AWR), which can provide an overall system report
   • For SQL specific monitoring EM gives you access to SQL*Monitor

Both AWR and SQL*Monitor can be accessed outside of EM too.
