Lee, Did you come up with a workable solution for this?
Preliminary testing of the v$session_longops view gave me some weird data returned in the in the start_time column: SQL> edit Wrote file afiedt.buf 1 select l.sid, 2 l.serial#, 3 s.username, 4 l.start_time, 5 l.time_remaining, 6 l.elapsed_seconds 7 from v$session_longops l, 8 v$session s 9* where l.sid = s.sid SQL> / SID SERIAL# USERNAME START_TIM TIME_REMAINING ELAPSED_SECONDS ---------- ---------- ------------------------------ --------- ------------- - --------------- 12 49527 SYS 17-OCT-01 0 9 13 62085 SYS 0 435240985 13 62085 SYS 16-OCT-01 0 12 14 2710 SYS 16-OCT-01 0 19 17 408 SYS 15-MAR-92 0 302578324 17 408 SYS 0 435241415 6 rows selected. Now, there are no users on this system, and if I were to put this in to practice (I'm thinking of doing a UDC for this) I would put in a where clause discounting the SYS user, and maybe add in a join with v$sqltext to get the offending statements.. Do you get a proper data return for users other than SYS? I haven't got a database to check with users on against ATM.. Looks like I've got the longest running database in the world :P Cheers Mark -----Original Message----- Lee - lerobe Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 09:25 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Thanks to everyone for their responses.

Lee -----Original Message----- Sent: 16 October 2001 18:45 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L You could fool around with: -- currently running sql.sql select sql_text, sid, s.serial#, last_call_et, hash_value, sa.buffer_gets, sa.executions, s.module, p.spid from v$session s, v$sqlarea sa, v$process p where s.sql_address = sa.address and s.sql_hash_value = sa.hash_value and s.status = 'ACTIVE' and s.paddr = p.addr and s.audsid != 0 and sql_text not like 'select sql_text%' and sql_text not like 'begin%tmsrv%' order by 4 desc; or, another of Paul's greatest hits, -- waiting sql.sql select event, sql_text, s.sid, serial#, s.last_call_et; from v$session s,v$session_wait w, v$sqlarea sa where s.sql_address = sa.address and s.sql_hash_value = sa.hash_value and w.sid = s.sid and w.event != 'Null event' and w.event != 'rdbms ipc message' and w.event != 'pipe get' and w.event != 'virtual circuit status' and w.event not like '%timer%' and w.event not like 'SQL*Net message %' and s.audsid != 0 order by last_call_et Note: last_call_et is estimated only, but generally reliable, and is expressed in seconds. The output of these look great in Benthic's Golden, but YMMV in sqlplus et.al.
