ORADEBUG

The oradebug utility is used by Oracle support to troubleshoot database issues. It allows viewing the internal database processes and structures. Key functions include enabling SQL tracing, suspending processes, dumping shared memory and process statistics. Commands like setmypid, hanganalyze, procstat, and dump systemstate provide debugging information on sessions, hangs, process resources, and overall system state.
