John, I double checked it and both instances were lower than the initial readings.
One thing I have found out since my initial question is that the v$bh table that Michael had referred to is based on sga db buffers. So there is the possibility of something that could of had a lot of pinging but was aged out of the dba buffers, this could reduce the numbers in the v$ping table.

Easy mistake to make (lol !!!!) John -----Original Message----- Sent: 29 May 2002 20:34 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L This view is based on v$bh which is cumulative... So... YES!

I looked at the contents last night before I left and saw numbers in a fairly high range, but when I did the same query this morning the numbers were much lower than the previous night.Can someone tell me if the contents of the v$ping table cumlative or are they as of the the time of the query?
