If you see duplicate hash values, a fast way to find the duplicate hash values is to do a self-join, filtering out the duplicate hash values. This may sound easy, but remember, the v$ tables have no rowids, so the classic methods cannot be used. Another column will have to be found that is different when the hash_value column in v$sqlarea is the same. Consider the select that follows:

select
   a.hash_value
from
   v$sqlarea a,
   v$sqlarea b
and
   a.FIRST_LOAD_TIME != b.FIRST_LOAD_TIME

SEE CODE DEPOT FOR FULL SCRIPT

This select should indicate the problem hash values. It is then a simple matter to go back to the v$sqlarea table and isolate the actual text. Long statements require special care to make sure that bind variables are used to prevent this hashing problem. Another remedy for long statements is to use views to store values at an intermediate state, thus reducing the size of the variable portion of the SQL.

Use bind variables, PL/SQL (procedures or functions), and views to reduce the size of large SQL statements in order to prevent hashing problems.

Disk IO and the Shared Pool

The Pcode versions of all current SQL commands that haven’t been aged out of the shared pool are contained in the shared SQL area. Numerous statistics are available via the v$sqlarea DPT. The text of SQL statements in the shared pool can be retrieved (at least the first tens of bytes) from the v$sqltext DPT.

The report below displays the SQL statements with the greatest amount of disk reads (these will probably be the ones you will want to review and tune).
