Several free tools are available to help with SQL tuning and performance diagnostics, including SQLd360, SQLT, and eDB360. SQLd360 and SQLT are good for diagnosing a single SQL statement, while eDB360 provides a 360-degree view of an entire Oracle database. Snapper and TUNAs360 can diagnose sessions and database activity. Standalone scripts like planx and sqlmon provide specialized diagnostics for individual cases. These free tools vary in size and capabilities, but all aim to help tune and diagnose SQL and database performance issues.

- 9. Snapper
- 10. Snapper • By Tanel Poder • Installs nothing • 10g to 12c • No dependencies on Diagnostics or Tuning Packs • Mimics ASH by sampling gv$session • Samples also – gv$sesstat, gv$sess_time_model, gv$session_event
- 11. Parameters • Seconds between snaps (i.e. 5) • Number of snaps (i.e. 12) • Session IDs to snap • Many other options – @snapper ash 5 1 144 – ASH mode, 5 seconds between snaps, one snap only, on session 144
- 12. TUNAs360
- 13. TUNAs360 • (TUN)ing with (A)ctive (s)essions • By Mauro Pagano • Installs nothing • 10g to 12c • No dependencies on Diagnostics or Tuning Packs • No execution parameters • Outputs HTML reports and Google Charts
- 17. SQLT • By Carlos Sierra, Mauro Pagano and Abel Macias • Oracle Support standard • Installs two schemas and several objects • 10g to 12c • Inputs one SQL_ID • Outputs one large HTML report • Better output having Diagnostics or Tuning Packs
- 20. SQLd360 • By Mauro Pagano • Installs nothing • 10g to 12c • Inputs one SQL_ID • Outputs small HTML reports and Google Charts • Better output having Diagnostics or Tuning Pack
