DROP_SNAPSHOT_RANGE过程不能清理表RM$_SNAPSHOT_DETAILS

    今天在测试、验证DROP_SNAPSHOT_RANGE不能彻底快照的过程中遇到了DROP_SNAPSHOT_RANGE无法清理WRM$_SNAPSHOT_DETAILS表中数据的情况，测试服务器版本为10.2.0.5.0，AWR的快照是1小时采集一次数据，快照保留14天，也就是二周。具体情况如下所示：

SQL> select * from v$version;

    如上实验所示，DROP_SNAPSHOT_RANGE不能清理WRM$_SNAPSHOT_DETAILS中的数据，当然对于的空间就不会释放，另外，有些版本中Oracle仅仅修改了对应SNAPSHOT的状态，而并没有删除快照。PS:有些人可能被上面又是DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT，又是WRM$_SNAPSHOT_DETAILS弄得有点晕，其实DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT是视图,它的数据来源于表WRM$_SNAPSHOT_DETAILS，使用下面SQL就能查看具体定义

SELECT OWNER, VIEW_NAME, TEXT FROM DBA_VIEWS WHERE VIEW_NAME='DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT';

"select snap_id, dbid, instance_number, startup_time,

       begin_interval_time, end_interval_time,

       flush_elapsed, snap_level, error_count

from WRM$_SNAPSHOT

where status = 0"

 

其实这个是一个Bug引起的，官方文档WRM$_SNAPSHOT_DETAILS Table is Not Purged (文档 ID 1489801.1) 和文档 Document 9797851.8 Bug 9797851 - WRM$_SNAPHOST_DETAILS is never purged 都有描述这个Bug

APPLIES TO:

Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 11.2.0.3 to 12.1.0.1 [Release 11.2 to 12.1]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

SYMPTOMS

The following symptoms are observed:

• AWR purge code is not automatically purging WRM$_SNAPSHOT_DETAILS, as expected
• Even after dropping a range of snap id's using dbms_workload_repository.drop_snapshot_range(), the table is not purged.
• Table WRM$_SNAPSHOT_DETAILS grows indefinitely.
• There are many orphaned entries in the table WRM$_SNAPSHOT_DETAILS.

The number of orphaned rows for the table WRM$_SNAPSHOT_DETAILS can be found by running the following sql:

SQL> SELECT MIN(snap_id),
  max(snap_id) ,
  cast(min(begin_time) as date) "Min Begin Time",
  CAST(MAX(begin_time) AS  DATE) "Max Begin Time",
  COUNT(*) 
FROM sys.wrm$_snapshot_details a 
WHERE NOT EXISTS 
  (SELECT * 
  FROM sys.wrm$_snapshot b 
  WHERE b.snap_id       = a.snap_id 
  AND a.dbid            = b.dbid 
  and a.instance_number = b.instance_number
  )


MIN(SNAP_ID) MAX(SNAP_ID) Min Begin Time       Max Begin Time         COUNT(*)

CAUSE

This issue is caused by an unpublished bug:

Document 9797851.8  Bug 9797851 - WRM$_SNAPHOST_DETAILS is never purged

The verification criteria for the bug are:

1. Drop a range of snap id's using dbms_workload_repository.drop_snapshot_range()
2. Check the corresponding snap id's in WRM$_SNAPSHOT_DETAILS.
3. If snap id's from the range that you chose to drop are still present, then you are hitting this bug.

SOLUTION

The following solutions are available:

• The Patch 9797851 for unpublished Bug 9797851 is available for some platforms and can be downloaded from My Oracle Support
• If the patch is not available on your platform on a supported version, please contact Oracle Support.
• This issue will be fixed from release Oracle 12.1

As a workaround, it is possible to manually purge the range of snap id's from the table WRM$_SNAPSHOT_DETAILS using appropriate delete statments under the guidance of Oracle Support.

Note:

 

在下面版本中，这些bug才fix掉了，请留意自己的版本信息。
