I will explain you How to Use Oracle AWR in Standard Edition Using Statspack. Let’s review the Statspack in Standard Edition vs Oracle AWR.
Statspack in Standard Edition vs Oracle AWR
Performance problems are mostly solved using Oracle AWR ( Automatic Workload Repository ). But Oracle AWR report is available in the Enterprise edition.
If you want to learn more details about Oracle AWR report, then read the following post to learn it.
What is the Oracle AWR ( Automatic Workload Repository ) Report
If you use Oracle Standart edition database, you need Oracle AWR to analyse Performance Problems.
Statspack Report in Oracle
You can use StatsPack (stands for Statistics Package) in Standart edition. Statspack is like AWR report and set of Oracle packages. You can take statspack report with snapshots of performance-related data that occurred between any two snapshots.
Standart edition AWR Report
To install statspack in Standart edition, execute spcreate.sql under $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory.
You can store statspack data in the different tablespace. I have create new tablespace for statspack.
You can install statspack like following.

Create a job with scheduled interval (1 hour) using spauto.sql.
SQL> @spauto.sql;

To create manual snapshot for statspack, execute following command.
SQL> exec perfstat.statspack.snap; PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
You can modify snap_level to 7 for more information in the statspack.
SQL> exec statspack.snap(i_snap_level => 7, i_modify_parameter => 'true');
To create Statspack report from snapshots, use the spreport.sql like following.
SQL> @spreport.sql

Enter value for report_name: test_report.html ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- End of Report ( test_report.html )
Then Statspack report is created, you can use it to analyze Oracle database Performance.
