For how many years have you been working with physical servers that are starving your database of the memory necessary to deploy important new performance features such as the Result Cache, Memoptimize Pool, In-Memory Aggregation, In-Memory Column Store, and Full Database Caching? Too long? Contact me to learn how to improve all queries ... not just some queries.

Purpose Connect/disconnect debug using jdwp protocol

CONNECT_TCP

Connect the specified session to the debugger waiting at host:port

This demo performs added security checks to decide if the debug connection request is granted (for example, by verifying that the debugger is running on a trusted host)

Note: In 11gR1, and thereafter, an ACL must be created for this call to succeed (see link below) dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp( host IN VARCHAR2, port IN VARCHAR2, session_id IN PLS_INTEGER := NULL, session_serial IN PLS_INTEGER := NULL, debug_role IN VARCHAR2 := NULL, debug_role_pwd IN VARCHAR2 := NULL, option_flags IN PLS_INTEGER := 0, extensions_cmd_set IN PLS_INTEGER := 128);

DECLARE

       vhost VARCHAR2(40) := 'bigdog.mlib.org';

       vport VARCHAR2(10) := '1521';

      BEGIN

        IF (utl_inaddr.get_host_address(vhost) != '119.168.1.119') THEN

          RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000, 'debug connection to this host not permitted');

        ELSE

          dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp(vhost, vport);

        END IF;

        dbms_debug_jdwp.disconnect;

      END;

      /

CURRENT_SESSION_ID

Returns the current session identifier dbms_debug_jdwp.current_session_id RETURN PLS_INTEGER;

SELECT dbms_debug_jdwp.current_session_id

      FROM dual;

CURRENT_SESSION_SERIAL

Returns the current session serial number dbms_debug_jdwp.current_session_serial RETURN PLS_INTEGER;

SELECT dbms_debug_jdwp.current_session_serial

      FROM dual;

DISCONNECT

A session cannot yet disconnect another session from a debugger; it can only connect or disconnect itself dbms_debug_jdwp.disconnect( session_id IN PLS_INTEGER := NULL, session_serial IN PLS_INTEGER := NULL);

See CONNECT_TCP Demo Above

GET_NLS_PARAMETER

Sets the value of the specified NLS parameter affecting the format in which NUMBER, DATE, TIME (WITH TIME ZONE) and TIMESTAMP (WITH TIME ZONE) dbms_debug_jdwp.get_nls_parameter(name IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2;

desc nls_session_parameters

      

      SELECT * FROM nls_session_parameters;

      

      SELECT dbms_debug_jdwp.get_nls_parameter('NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT')

      FROM dual;

      

      execdbms_debug_jdwp.set_nls_parameter('NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT','DD-MON-YYYY HH.MI.SSXFF AM');

      

      SELECT dbms_debug_jdwp.get_nls_parameter('NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT')

      FROM dual;

PROCESS_CONNECT_STRING

Allows a session to connect to a debugger through the use of either the ORA_DEBUG_JDWP operating system environment variable when running an OCI program, or a web browser "cookie" called OWA_DEBUG_<dad> set when running an application through the PL/SQL Web Gateway dbms_debug_jdwp.process_connect_string( connect_string IN VARCHAR2, connect_string_type IN PLS_INTEGER);

TBD

SET_NLS_PARAMETER

Sets the value of the specified NLS parameter affecting the format in which NUMBER, DATE, TIME (WITH TIME ZONE) and TIMESTAMP (WITH TIME ZONE) dbms_debug_jdwp.set_nls_parameter(name IN VARCHAR2, value IN VARCHAR2);
