About SQL Tuning Health-Check Script (SQLHC)


The SQL Tuning Health-Check Script is a script developed by the Oracle Server Technologies Center of
Expertise. The tool, also known as SQLHC, is used to diagnose performance issues on a single specific
query. It checks the environment in which a single SQL Statement runs, the cost-based optimizer
(CBO) statistics, schema object metadata, configuration parameters and other elements that may
influence the performance of the one SQL that is being analyzed.

Use this tool to quickly gather all the information that you need to diagnose specific query
performance issues.

The generated report helps you to diagnose the root cause, but it does not recommend fixing the
issue.
This free tool can be downloaded from Oracle support Doc ID 1366133.1.
