Chapter 14 PLVtmr: Analyzing Program Performance |
The capture procedure of PLVtmr allows you to capture the start time for a timing session. Its header is:
PROCEDURE capture (context_in IN VARCHAR2 := NULL);
The single argument supplies a context which is associated with this timing session. When you call capture, PLVtmr in turn calls DBMS_UTILITY.GET_TIME to "capture the moment."
The following call to capture starts the timing session and assigns it the name "Calculating Totals":
PLVtmr.capture ('Calculating Totals');
