Real-Time SQL Monitoring in Oracle Database: Key Facts


Real-Time SQL Monitoring is a powerful feature that provides detailed insights into SQL execution, helping DBAs identify performance bottlenecks and optimize queries efficiently. But before using it, there are some important licensing considerations.

🔑 Licensing Requirements

  • Requires the Oracle Tuning Pack.

  • The Oracle Diagnostics Pack is a prerequisite for the Tuning Pack.

  • Both packs must be licensed, and they are only available with the Enterprise Edition of the Oracle Database.

📊 When Does SQL Monitoring Trigger?

SQL statements are automatically monitored when:

  • A single execution consumes more than 5 seconds of CPU or I/O time.

  • The SQL uses parallel execution (DML, DDL, or queries).


✅ In short: Real-Time SQL Monitoring is an Enterprise Edition-only feature requiring additional licenses, and it kicks in automatically for resource-intensive or parallel SQL operations.
