DBA History Views
The Oracle views prefixed with DBA_HIST_* belong to the Automatic Workload Repository (AWR), a feature designed for performance tuning and diagnostics in the database. These views offer historical performance, configuration and miscellaneous data collected by the AWR at regular intervals (hourly by default). They are essential for analyzing database performance trends, identifying issues, and optimizing resource utilization.
It’s common to need historical information without knowing if a specific DBA_HIST_* view exists for your query. For example, did you know there’s historical data on global cache service processes or snapshot errors? Who knew, right?  But finding the right one in the Oracle documentation can be a challenge since there doesnt seem to be a readily availble list. To save time, here’s a complete list of these views as of Oracle 23ai.
