Finding SQL Bind variables and its literal values

Hi,

In 10g, you can use data dictionary view v$sql_bind_capture or AWR view dba_hist_sqlbind (historical version of v$sql_bind_capture) to find bind variables’ values. However it has some significant limitations:

  • Captured periodically (_cursor_bind_capture_interval=900 seconds by default), not at real time.
  • Captured under maximum size(_cursor_bind_capture_area_size=400)
  • Only bind variables in WHERE clause are captured (e.g bind variables passed to function are not captured !)

    select name, position, datatype_string, value_string from v$sql_bind_capture where sql_id = '';

    But there is a bug related to v$sql_bind_capture as reported in note 444551.1

    V$SQL_BIND_CAPTURE Does Not Show The Value For Binds Of Type TIMESTAMP [ID 444551.1] as a workaround you can get value of TIMESTAMP bind variable by

    select name, position, datatype_string, was_captured, value_string, anydata.accesstimestamp(value_anydata) from v$sql_bind_capture where sql_id = '';

    top

    it’s fixed in 11.2.

    -Thanks
