SELECT 'Snapshot Interval' "Interval" ,      EXTRACT ( DAY FROM snap_interval ) days ,      EXTRACT ( HOUR FROM snap_interval ) hours ,      EXTRACT ( MINUTE FROM snap_interval ) minutes   FROM dba_hist_wr_control UNION ALL SELECT 'Retention Interval' "Interval" ,      EXTRACT ( DAY FROM retention ) days ,      EXTRACT ( HOUR FROM retention ) hours ,      EXTRACT ( MINUTE FROM retention ) minutes   FROM dba_hist_wr_control; Adjust the AWR retention and snapshot intervals according to your needs.
