Hello Gurus, I was trying to pull distinct sql's and their total "execute count" from a bunch of 250 trace output files(output from tkprof trace files). How can I achive this. What i need the cumulative sum of execute count from different files for each sql's. As u all know sql can extend more than one line so ! I know this can be handled using perl script. file1.prf .. select * from tablename1 where col1=:1 and col2=:2 call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Parse 5 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 Execute 5 0.02 0.02 0 600 0 0 Fetch 5 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- total 15 0.02 0.02 0 600 0 0 .... select * from tablename2 where col1=:1 and col2=:2 call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Parse 5 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 Execute 5 0.02 0.02 0 600 0 0 Fetch 5 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- total 15 0.02 0.02 0 600 0 0 file2.prf select * from tablename1 where col1=:1 and col2=:2 call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Parse 5 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 Execute 5 0.02 0.02 0 600 0 0 Fetch 5 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- total 15 0.02 0.02 0 600 0 0 select * from tablename3 where col1=:1 and col2=:2 call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Parse 5 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 Execute 5 0.02 0.02 0 600 0 0 Fetch 5 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- total 15 0.02 0.02 0 600 0 0 -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Valiveru, Siva INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
