  Formal Event Syntax
  --------------------
    <event_spec>   ::= '<event_id> [<event_scope>]
                                   [<event_filter_list>]
                                   [<event_parameters>]
                                   [<action_list>]
                                   [off]'

    <event_id>     ::= <event_name | number>[<target_parameters>]

    <event_scope>  ::= [<scope_name>: scope_parameters]

    <event_filter> ::= {<filter_name>: filter_parameters}

    <action>       ::= <action_name>(action_parameters)

    <action_parameters> ::= <parameter_name> = [<value>|<action>][, ]

    <*_parameters> ::= <parameter_name> = <value>[, ]


  Some Examples
  -------------
    * Set event 10235 level 1:
      alter session set events '10235';

    * Set events SQL_TRACE (a.k.a. 10046) level 1:
      alter session set events 'sql_trace';

    * Turn off event SQL_TRACE:
      alter session set events 'sql_trace off';

    * Set events SQL_TRACE with parameter <plan_stat> set to 'never'
      and parameter <wait> set to 'true':
      alter session set events 'sql_trace wait=true, plan_stat=never';

    * Trace in-memory the SQL_MONITOR component (the target) and all its
      sub-components at level high. Get high resolution time for each
      trace:
      alter session set events 'trace[sql_mon.*] memory=high,
                                                 get_time=highres';

    * On-disk trace PX servers p000 and p005 for components 'sql_mon'
      and 'sql_optimizer' (including sub-components) at level highest:
      alter system set events 'trace[sql_mon | sql_optimizer.*]
                            {process: pname = p000 | process: pname=p005}';

    * Same as above but only when SQL id '7ujay4u33g337' is executed:
      alter system set events 'trace[sql_mon | sql_optimizer.*]
                                    [sql: 7ujay4u33g337]
                            {process: pname = p000 | process: pname=p005}';

    * Execute an action immediatly by using 'immediate' for the event
      name:
      alter session set events 'immediate eventdump(system)'

    * Create an incident labeled 'table_missing' when external error
      942 is signaled by process id 14534:
      alter session set events '942 {process: 14534}
                                    incident(table_missing)';


  Notes
  -----
    * Implicit parameter level is 1 by default
      e.g. '10053' is same as '10053 level 1'

    * Event target (see [<target_parameters>] construct) is only
      supported by specific events like the TRACE[] event

    * <event_scope> and/or <event_filter> are constructs
      that can be used for any event

    * Same event can be set simultaneously for a different scope or
      target but not for different filters.

    * '|' character can be used to select multiple targets, scope or
      filters.

      E.g. 'sql_trace [sql: sql_id=g3yc1js3g2689 | sql_id=7ujay4u33g337]'

    * '=' sign is optional in <*_parameters>

      E.g. 'sql_trace level 12';

    * Like PL/SQL, no need to specify the parameter name for target,
      scope, filters and action. Resolution is done by position in
      that case:

      E.g. 'sql_trace [sql: g3yc1js3g2689 | 7ujay4u33g337]'

checking suspicious bind variables in v$sql_monitor

In my current company we try to stabilize the performance of our Peoplesoft application. So on a more or less regular base I get a call to investigate as "it" is "slow" now.
During my research I found one error-pattern I'd like to show here: SQLs which where parsed for very selective BINDs (like customer-id) are executed with a single space (" ") as bind.
Unfortunately in Peoplesoft this character is used similar to NULL - so when it doesn't know what value to store, a space is used.
In general such BINDs lead to improper NESTED LOOPs.
Every time I found such executions, they where accepted as defect by development.

I'm in the lucky position to have tuning pack licensed, so I can use real time sql monitoring. That's very handy as I can save the a SQL in question together with a lot of infos (client, machine, module, start-time, BINDs, ...) in a html file and save it for later analysis/forward.

As v$sql_monitor shows specific executions, and it has all the BINDs stored as well, I can use it now to find other suspicious statements. So this little statement gives me some infos where to look closer:

SELECT sql_id, 
       name, 
       '--' || value || '--' 
FROM   (SELECT KEY, 
               sql_id, 
               xmltype.Createxml(binds_xml) confval 
        FROM   v$sql_monitor) v, 
       XMLTABLE('/binds/bind' passing v.confval 
                COLUMNS name  VARCHAR2(25)   path '@name', 
                        value VARCHAR2(4000) path '.'      ) 
WHERE  value = ' ' 
        OR value IS NULL; 
with an output like this:
SQL_ID        NAME                      VALUE
------------- ------------------------- -----
63pw6bqt84793 :2                        -- -- 

Please do NOT start with this statement when your application is "slow" - not even when it's Peoplesoft.
