oradebug工具是Oracle数据库调优和诊断的利器，合理运用oradebug可以大幅减少我们收集诊断信息所花费的时间。当然前提是合理运用，对于初级DBA有这样一个忠告，不要在生产环境中去接触或修改自己所不熟悉的领域的东西，这一点很重要。并不是说中高级DBA在知识和经验上能达到巨细靡遗的状态，实际上中高级Oracle DBA可能每天都在和新事物打交道。恰恰相反，中高级DBA是对以上忠告最忠实的践行者，在生产环境中绝不随意涉险于不确定、不明确、不熟悉的区域，很多时候这会让人觉得是一种”好奇心丧失”的表现。
言归正传，我们所要介绍的是oradebug的dumpvar命令，该命令用于打印转储固定的PGA/UGA/SGA的变量:，其语法如下:
oradebug dumpvar
Print/dump a fixed PGA/SGA/UGA variable.
Syntax Parameter
oradebug dumpvar <p|s|uga> <variable name> [level] <p|s|uga> PGA,SGA or UGA
fixed variable name
[level]
使用示例
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
----------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
SQL> select * from global_name;

SQL> show parameter db_files
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_files integer 200
SQL> oradebug setmypid;
Statement processed.
SQL> oradebug dumpvar sga kcfdpk
kfil kcfdpk_ [698B950, 698B954) = 000000C8
这里的KCFDPK变量保存了db_files参数的值，000000C8 == 200
利用oradebug工具我们不仅可以做到对这些内部变量的窥视，还可以做到修改，
但是这对我们实际的诊断没有益处，仅仅可以用来满足某些模拟实验
仅仅了解dumpvar命令的使用方法并没有意义，只有和有意义的内部变量结合起来才能真正起到高级诊断的作用，在这里抛砖引玉罗列出部分诊断变量:
sgauso -- 该变量可以用于判断use_stored_outlines SQL> oradebug setmypid; Statement processed.
