Performance Tuning

Pinpoint Bottlenecks in your Code

Find bottlenecks

Diagnose Performance Issues Within Execution Flows

Visual Expert identifies bottlenecks by tracing execution flows within PL/SQL code. It analyzes the sequence of operations in stored procedures and functions, isolating slow-running segments and pinpointing high-latency steps. This feature enables you to locate inefficiencies precisely within the execution path, focusing on problematic queries and resource-heavy operations that hinder application performance.

Pinpoint Slow Code

Identify High-Latency SQL Statements

Pinpoint Resource-Intensive Queries

Visual Expert isolates SQL statements with the longest execution times in your PL/SQL code. By identifying these high-latency queries, even if rarely executed, you can target specific statements that impact application responsiveness due to their processing delays.

Identify Missing Index in your Database

Find missing indexes

Reduce Full Table Scans and Optimize Query Efficiency

Visual Expert scans your PL/SQL code to detect SQL queries that could benefit from additional indexing. It identifies tables frequently accessed without indexes, where lookup times are unnecessarily high. By highlighting missing indexes, Visual Expert helps you reduce query execution times and optimize data retrieval, improving the overall performance of your Oracle database.

Code Call Graph

Focus on Queries with Significant Performance Impact

Identify which lines need to be refactored

Visual Expert also identifies queries with high cumulative execution times due to frequent use. Although these statements may not be individually slow, they consume substantial resources. Optimizing these frequently run queries can significantly reduce system load and improve overall performance.

AI-Powered Analysis

AI Code Explanation

Code Explanation

Understand Any PL/SQL Code Instantly

Visual Expert AI generates clear explanations of your Oracle PL/SQL code at two levels: a business-oriented description for project managers and analysts, and a technical logic breakdown for developers working with unfamiliar code. This helps teams understand legacy procedures without relying on tribal knowledge or outdated documentation.

AI Performance Optimization

Optimization Suggestions

Get Actionable Fix Recommendations

When Visual Expert detects performance bottlenecks or slow queries in your PL/SQL code, AI suggests concrete improvements adapted to your Oracle environment — such as adding a specific index, restructuring a loop, or rewriting a subquery. Each suggestion is contextualized to minimize side effects on existing code.

AI Security Fix Suggestions

Security Fix Proposals

From Vulnerability Detection to Remediation

Visual Expert identifies security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection risks or insecure privilege management. AI then proposes specific fixes — parameterized queries, input validation, access control adjustments — tailored to Oracle PL/SQL syntax and your codebase context.

AI Comment Generation

Automatic Code Commenting

Generate Contextual Documentation Inline

AI automatically generates meaningful comments for your PL/SQL procedures, functions, and packages. Comments describe business logic, processing steps, and edge cases, making it easier for your team to maintain and review Oracle code without manual documentation effort.

Team Collaboration

Browser-Based Access

No Installation, No Configuration

Visual Expert Web gives your entire team access to Oracle PL/SQL analysis results through a standard web browser. There is nothing to install on client machines — team members connect to the VE Server and immediately start reviewing code, navigating dependencies, and consulting inspection reports. Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, VE Web is designed for distributed and remote teams.

Shared Documents & Views

Share Analysis Results via URL

Save and share any analysis view with your team using a unique URL — Code Explorer views, CRUD matrices, code inspection results, AI reports, or documentation snapshots. A central Shared Documents hub lets you browse, search, and organize shared content by project, owner, or favorites. Duplicate detection prevents redundant shares for the same content.

Scheduled Server-Side Analysis

Always Up-to-Date, Without Manual Effort

Code analysis runs on the server and results are stored in a shared repository accessible to all team members. The built-in task scheduler refreshes the analysis automatically at a defined frequency, so your team always works with the latest version of the codebase — without tying up developer workstations or waiting for a manual run.

Access Control & Permissions

Control Who Sees and Does What

Manage access at the project level with per-user and per-group permissions. Define who can open a project, refresh the analysis, export data, or modify settings. Shared documents support granular access levels — read, edit, or owner — ensuring that sensitive Oracle code and analysis results remain visible only to authorized team members.
