Hi, far better than getting individual descriptions is to research for yourself (this isn't an RTFM message honestly). Good sources of information for this subject are Anjo Kolk's excellent document on wait events and enqueues (http://www.dbatoolbox.com/WP2001/dbamisc/events.pdf) and the Oracle documentation set, specifically the Oracle Server Reference (Appendix A I think), wait events.
