Demo

Taking a heap dump during a large (sorting) query
-- This example requires two sessions, session 1 logged on SYS AS SYSDBA and session 2 which 
-- executes the query. In session 2 identify the PID using


SELECT pid
FROM gv$process
WHERE addr IN (
  SELECT paddr 
  FROM gv$session
  WHERE sid = dbms_support.mysid);

In this example the PID was 12

In session 1 set the Oracle PID using

ORADEBUG SETORAPID 12

In session 2 start the query

SELECT ... FROM t1 ORDER BY ....

In session 1 suspend session 2

ORADEBUG SUSPEND

The query in session 2 will be suspended

In session 1 run the heap dump

ORADEBUG DUMP HEAPDUMP 1

The heapdump will show the memory structures allocated for the sort. At this point further dumps e.g. subheap dumps can be taken.

In session 1 resume session 2

ORADEBUG RESUME

The query in session 2 will resume execution
