-- File name:   sample.sql
-- Purpose:     Sample any V$ view or X$ table and display aggregated results
--
-- Author:      Tanel Poder
-- Copyright:   (c) http://www.tanelpoder.com
--              
-- Usage:       @sample <column[,column]> <table> <filter condition> <num. samples>
-- 	        
-- Examples:    @sample sql_id v$session sid=142 1000000 
--              @sample sql_id,event v$session "sid=142 and state='WAITING'" 1000000
--              @sample plsql_object_id,plsql_subprogram_id,sql_id v$session sid=142 1000000
--              @sample indx,ksllalaq x$ksupr ksllalaq!=hextoraw('00') 10000
--
-- Other:       This script temporarily disables hash and sort merge join to 
--              get NESTED LOOPS join method (this is how the sampling is done)
--
-- WARNING!     Sampling some views like V$SQL, V$OPEN_CURSOR, X$KSMSP in a loop
--              may cause some serious latch contention in your instance.
--
