I'm trying to run a query against an Oracle database. The first time I run it, it takes about 7 seconds. The second time I try to run it, it doesn't seem to ever actually complete. This is in both Oracle SQL developer and in the application I am developing (using JDBC Oracle Thin).
If I add a space to the query somewhere where I haven't done before, the query takes 7 seconds again.
I'm assuming this is because Oracle thinks it is a new query. Is there any way I can force Oracle to treat a query as one it hasn't seen before, even though it has?

I'm using the Jdbc input in LogStash to retrieve data from MS SQL database once in a minute.
Usually it works fine. But we know database performance is not very reliable thing and sometime it's takes longer than one minute to a query to return. Sometime event 5 minutes.
But the Jdbc scheduler still run a query once a minute so there situations when multiple queries run at the same time. This creates additional pressure on a database and after some time there are 20 almost same queries run at the same time.
I assume I'm not the first person which encounter this problem. I'm sure there is some way to make Jdbc to run next query a minute after the previous once is finished. Am I right?
I wrote an application that queries oracle v$sqlarea and dumps data to my own database for further analysis. I noticed something very strange - sometimes data in the v$sqlarea shows less executions than before. I'm pretty sure that the oracle cache was not cleaned (the first load time of query is still the same, and since I query oracle each minute I dont believe that in this one minute the query was executed 100k+ times).
Can anybody explain how this is possible?
Ok, so I asked this on Oracle forum as well, and I believe that the correct answer is this one

Not sure if this question has been already asked. I face this problem where the 1st hit from the website to an Oracle SP takes a lot of time. Subsequent accesses work just fine.
The SP i'm taking about here is a dynamic SP used for Search functionality(With different search criteria selection option available)
1st access time ~200 seconds
subsequent access time ~20 to 30 seconds.
Stored Procedure logic on a high level.
Conditional JOINS are appended based on some logics.
Dynamic SQL and cursor used to retrieve data.
Any help to start tackling these kind of issues is very helpful..
Thanks,

The reason why it takes only a few secs to execute the query after the first run is that Oracle caches the results. If you change the SQL then Oracle considers it a different query and won't serve the results from the cache but executes the new query (even formatting the code again or adding a space in between will be a difference).
It is a hard question how to speed up first execution. You'll need to post your query and explain plan and probably you'll have to answer further questions if you want to get help on that.
I have a select query which takes 10 min to complete as it runs thru 10M records. When I run thru TOAD or program using normal JDBC connection I get the results back, but while running a Job which uses Hibernate as ORM does not return any results. It just hangs up ...even after 45 min? Please help
Are you saying you trying to retrieve 10M records using an ORM like hibernate?
If this is the case you have one big problems, you need to redesign your application because this is not going to work, and about why it hangs up, well, I bet is because it runs out of memory.
Have you enabled SQL output for Hibernate? You need to set hibernate.show_sql to true in order to do that.
Once that's done, compare the generated SQL with the one you're been running through TOAD. Are they exactly the same or not?
I'm going to venture a guess here and say they're not because once SQL is generated Hibernate does nothing fancy - connection is taken from a pool; prepared statement is created and executed - so it should be no different from JDBC.
Thus the question most likely is how can your HQL be optimized. If you need any help with that you'll have to post the HQL in question as well as appropriate mappings / table schemas. Running explain on query would help as well.
I am trying to understand the performance of a query that I've written in Oracle. At this time I only have access to SQLDeveloper and its execution timer. I can run SHOW PLAN but cannot use the auto trace function.
The query that I've written runs in about 1.8 seconds when I press "execute query" (F9) in SQLDeveloper. I know that this is only fetching the first fifty rows by default, but can I at least be certain that the 1.8 seconds encompasses the total execution time plus the time to deliver the first 50 rows to my client?
When I wrap this query in a stored procedure (returning the results via an OUT REF CURSOR) and try to use it from an external application (SQL Server Reporting Services), the query takes over one minute to run. I get similar performance when I press "run script" (F5) in SQLDeveloper. It seems that the difference here is that in these two scenarios, Oracle has to transmit all of the rows back rather than the first 50. This leads me to believe that there is some network connectivity issues between the client PC and Oracle instance.
My query only returns about 8000 rows so this performance is surprising. To try to prove my theory above about the latency, I ran some code like this in SQLDeveloper:
declare
tmp sys_refcursor;
begin
my_proc(null, null, null, tmp);
end;
...And this runs in about two seconds. Again, does SQLDeveloper's execution clock accurately indicate the execution time of the query? Or am I missing something and is it possible that it is in fact my query which needs tuning?
Can anybody please offer me any insight on this based on the limited tools I have available? Or should I try to involve the DBA to do some further analysis?
"I know that this is only fetching the
first fifty rows by default, but can I

execution time plus the time to

client?"
No, it is the time to return the first 50 rows. It doesn't necessarily require that the database has determined the entire result set.
Think about the table as an encyclopedia. If you want a list of animals with names beginning with 'A' or 'Z', you'll probably get Aardvarks and Alligators pretty quickly. It will take much longer to get Zebras as you'd have to read the entire book. If your query is doing a full table scan, it won't complete until it has read the entire table (or book), even if there is nothing to be picked up in anything after the first chapter (because it doesn't know there isn't anything important in there until it has read it).
declare
tmp sys_refcursor;
begin
my_proc(null, null, null, tmp);
end;
This piece of code does nothing. More specifically, it will parse the query to determine that the necessary tables, columns and privileges are in place. It will not actually execute the query or determine whether any rows meet the filter criteria.
If the query only returns 8000 rows it is unlikely that the network is a significant problem (unless they are very big rows).
Ask your DBA for a quick tutorial in performance tuning.
