Well here's what's curious... Notice the changing SID-serial# with the same sql address and hash. Notice how elapsed seconds gyrates. Elapsed seconds goes from zero to 447,507,719 yet there were only a few seconds between the queries. How can a
session with 447,507,719 seconds of elapsed time suddenly appear??? Why are there sessions going back to November when the computer hasn't even been up that long? None of the sessions in V$SESSION_LONGOPS are in V$SESSION. The sql address and hash is not extant in V$SQL, V$SQLAREA, etc. Is this view supposed to behave this way? -----Original Message----- No it is not broken, unless someone explicitly updates underlying information it is not visible .... I monitor this when I am creating or rebuilding indexes to importing ... at that time Oracle will populate relevant fields, and that is really useful.
