Raj - If you run STATSPACK with the statsauto script, then it runs every 15 minutes, which would be too large an interval for your purposes. However, if you execute statspack.snap; then it executes immediately. When the problem occurs, execute it. If you are concerned, keep a window open with the command typed so you just have to hit "enter". Then 2-3 minutes later, execute the command again. If you are more comfortable with utlbstat/utlestat, I guess that is still available in 9i, but not as comprehensive as statspack. Naturally if the database is frozen or "hung", then statspack will take awhile to complete. Another thought is Note 61552.1 "Diagnosing Database Hanging Issues" on Metalink.

If you have it configured, you can just enter: connect perfstat executes statspack.snap; This should help you to see what is going on inside Oracle. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.
