Hourly/Daily Archive generation

The below query comes handy to understand the archivelog generation of an Oracle database on an hourly /daily basis, per thread – in case of RAC databases.

Archivelog generation on a daily basis:

set pages 1000
select trunc(COMPLETION_TIME,'DD') Day, thread#, round(sum(BLOCKS*BLOCK_SIZE)/1048576) MB,count(*) Archives_Generated from v$archived_log
group by trunc(COMPLETION_TIME,'DD'),thread# order by 1;

Archive log generation on an hourly basis:

set pages 1000
select trunc(COMPLETION_TIME,'HH') Hour,thread# , round(sum(BLOCKS*BLOCK_SIZE)/1048576) MB,count(*) Archives from v$archived_log
group by trunc(COMPLETION_TIME,'HH'),thread#  order by 1 ;

Sample output:

HOUR                   THREAD#         MB   ARCHIVES
------------------- ---------- ---------- ----------
2009 08 20 12:00:00          1      31268        339
2009 08 20 13:00:00          1       4994         55
2009 08 20 14:00:00          1       4412         48
2009 08 20 15:00:00          1       4805         52
2009 08 20 16:00:00          1       3364         37
2009 08 20 17:00:00          1         22          1
2009 08 20 21:00:00          1          9          1

Also, the following script is useful to find the archivelog switches on an hourly basis that happened in the past one week, I got this from http://kubilaykara.blogspot.com/2008/02/redo-log-generation.html and is quite an useful one.

SELECT to_date(first_time) DAY,
to_char(sum(decode(to_char(first_time,'HH24'),'00',1,0)),'99') "00",

to_char(sum(decode(to_char(first_time,'HH24'),'23',1,0)),'99') "23"
from
v$log_history
where to_date(first_time) > sysdate -8
GROUP by
to_char(first_time,'YYYY-MON-DD'), to_date(first_time)
order by to_date(first_time)

Sample output:
