Inside the Real-time v$ Wait Events

The foundation concept of the ASH architecture is called the time model, and Oracle10g has introduced several important wait event v$ views.  Table 16.4 below shows some v$ equivalents to dba_hist views.

 

v$ View

dba_hist View

v$active_sess_hist XE "v$active_sess_hist"

dba_hist_active_sess_history XE "dba_hist_active_sess_history"  

v$sys_time_model XE "v$sys_time_model"

dba_hist_sys_time_model XE "dba_hist_sys_time_model"

v$active_session_history XE "v$active_session_history"

dba_hist_active_sess_history XE "dba_hist_active_sess_history"  

v$event_histogram XE "v$event_histogram"

No equivalent DBA view

Table 16.4: Oracle v$ equivalents to ASH wait event tables

 

The main components of OWE interface are the dynamic performance views: v$session XE "v$session" _wait XE "v$session_wait" ; and v$session_event XE "v$session_event"  as shown in Figure 16.8.

 

Figure 16.8: The v$ event structures in Oracle10g

 

These v$ views are in-memory structures that feed data to the ASH tables which provide time-series wait event information. 

The ASH samples for wait events every second and tracks the waits in the new v$active_sess_hist XE "v$active_sess_hist"  view.  Before looking into the wrh$ and ASH tables, it will be useful to take a quick tour of the important v$ wait event views.
