Does dbconsole installation install Automatic SQL Tuning or other Tuning Jobs?
We recently came across a bizarre situation, where one of our PL/SQL procedures which used to run for hours on , completed within record times. Obviously the code is legacy and old (and possibly not tuned well). Used to run for 6 or 7+ hours. We're on Oracle 11GR2 (11.2.0.3.0) on Linux. But something weird happened when we installed dbconsole ( command: emca -config dbcontrol db -repos recreate ). After the dbconsole was installed, the procedure ran only for 40-45 mins. Our suspicious was that the dbconsole installation activated the sql tuning and/or other dbms statistics gathering jobs. We retried this again by exporting the data to another server, without dbconsole . And it took the same old 7+ hours.
