这部分是列出了所有的sql语句。

Top Sessions

• '# Samples Active' shows the number of ASH samples in which the session was found waiting for that particular event. The percentage shown in this column is calculated with respect to wall clock time and not total database activity.
• 'XIDs' shows the number of distinct transaction IDs sampled in ASH when the session was waiting for that particular event
• For sessions running Parallel Queries, this section will NOT aggregate the PQ slave activity into the session issuing the PQ. Refer to the 'Top Sessions running PQs' section for such statistics.

Sid, Serial#	% Activity	Event	% Event	User	Program	# Samples Active	XIDs
165, 1	27.78	control file parallel write	27.78	SYS	oracle@linux (CKPT)	5/3,690 [ 0%]	0
166, 1	16.67	log file parallel write	16.67	SYS	oracle@linux (LGWR)	3/3,690 [ 0%]	0
167, 1	16.67	CPU + Wait for CPU	16.67	SYS	oracle@linux (DBW0)	3/3,690 [ 0%]	0
135, 165	11.11	CPU + Wait for CPU	11.11	SYS	sqlplus@linux (TNS V1-V3)	2/3,690 [ 0%]	0
135, 108	5.56	null event	5.56	SYS	oracle@linux (m001)	1/3,690 [ 0%]	0

这部分列出了活动最频繁的会话信息。这一部分为我们提供了非常有用的信息，那就是哪些进程活动频繁。我们通过这一部分获取到某个活动频繁的会话信息，可以通过使用ashrpti.sql来生成针对这个会话的ASH性能报告，或者可以使用sql_trace对这个会话进程跟踪。这样我们就能了解到当前这个会话正在做什么。

Top Blocking Sessions

• Blocking session activity percentages are calculated with respect to waits on enqueues, latches and "buffer busy" only
• '% Activity' represents the load on the database caused by a particular blocking session
• '# Samples Active' shows the number of ASH samples in which the blocking session was found active.
• 'XIDs' shows the number of distinct transaction IDs sampled in ASH when the blocking session was found active.

Blocking Sid	% Activity	Event Caused	% Event	User	Program	# Samples Active	XIDs
166, 1	16.67	log file sync	16.67	SYS	oracle@linux (LGWR)	3/3,690 [ 0%]	0

这一部分列举了被阻塞的会话信息。

Activity Over Time

• Analysis period is divided into smaller time slots
• Top 3 events are reported in each of those slots
• 'Slot Count' shows the number of ASH samples in that slot
• 'Event Count' shows the number of ASH samples waiting for that event in that slot
• '% Event' is 'Event Count' over all ASH samples in the analysis period

Slot Time (Duration)	Slot Count	Event	Event Count	% Event
06:36:00 (6.0 min)	1	CPU + Wait for CPU	1	5.56
06:48:00 (6.0 min)	2	control file parallel write	2	11.11
06:54:00 (6.0 min)	2	log file parallel write	1	5.56
		log file sync	1	5.56
07:00:00 (6.0 min)	3	CPU + Wait for CPU	1	5.56

		null event	1	5.56

		log file sync	1	5.56
07:30:00 (5.4 min)	3	CPU + Wait for CPU	2	11.11
		control file parallel write	1	5.56

这部分列举了各种等待的细粒度显示。

当我们需要对一些活动的会话做分析时，使用ASH更加方便，这样可以排除很多不需要的信息干扰，更容易定位到问题的所在；

当我们需要对数据库系统做整体性能评估时，需要分析AWR性能报告。
