Ian, I'll start with some easy questions: What version of Oracle and what OS? Can you show the SQL being run or some of it? What does v$session_event and v$session_wait show? Can you reproduce it when you run the SQL called by the program from SQLPlus?
I had a problem ion 815 / NT with really really long SQL statements (produced by Forms) that would parse forever and never complete - is your statement (or any of them) really long? Regards, Bruce Reardon -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, 6 March 2002 14:53 Hi All, I have an online program that is timing out and when I trace it I get the following at the bottom of my tkprof output. It's easy to see why the transaction is running slow, because of all the parsing. But the program and all called modules are compiled with max_opencursors = 75 to stop the parsing problem, though it doesn't seem to be helping here. There are only 64 unique sql statements that all use host variables, so why does it also say there 786 sql statements in the session, what could be causing the 64 to turn into 786 and be getting reparsed all the time :-(((((( Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as the transaction dies after awhile and it's in production doh!
