如何使用gdb工具对Oracle系统状态(systemstate)做trace

当Oracle系统hang住 ，无法使用一切方法登录时 （包括 sqlplus -prelim / as sysdba），我们可以使用gdb调试工具来对 Oracle做系统 dump ,通过 系统 dump信息 判断 具体hang的原因 。 若直接 将 进程 kill 掉，则将失去现场 无法帮助今后避免 这样的hang情况。 要使用gdb 外部工具， 就需要知道目前实例中后台进程的进程号。 我们一般通过 以下命令列出 Oracle 进程：ps -ef|grep <SID> [oracle@rh2 ~]$ ps -ef|grep oraclewebmoney oracle   16996 16995  0 21:55 ?        00:00:00 oraclewebmoney (DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq))) 然后启动gdb ，指定Oracle软件中二进制文件 oracle的位置和 进程id [oracle@rh2 udump]$ gdb $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle  16996 GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (6.3.0.0-1.159.el4rh) Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
