What would you do to improve the performance?

You work for a company as a DBA. The company has an application to manage the details of its
business and customer base. However, application users complain that updating the SALES
record takes more time than it used to earlier. On investigation, you notice that the application
performance degrades when a call is made to the UPDATE_INV procedure. Further, you execute
the following query to investigate:
SQL> SELECT name, type, sharable_mem, kept
2 FROM v$db_object_cache
3 WHERE sharable_mem > 4000
4 AND EXECUTIONS > 5
5 AND (type=’FUNCTION’ OR type=’PROCEDURE’)
6 /
NAME TYPE SHARABLE_MEM KEPT

GETEMKEY FUNCTION 13695 YES
UPDATE_INV PROCEDURE 14766 NO
SETEMUSERCONTEXT PROCEDURE 13703 YES
DECRYPT FUNCTION 17790 YES
UPDATE_DEPT PROCEDURE 18765 NO
