I would add that the Statspack's Top 5 events miss out other SQL*Net related waits. Those can not be ignored in the client/server type environments.
I fiddle with the perfstat.stats$idle_event table that contains a list of such 'idle' events. The events in this table are never reported by statspack in the 'Top 5' category. And that can be misleading. - Kirti -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 8:53 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L This is never an "idle" event. The phrase "more data from client" indicates that the individual SQL operation is larger than a single SQL*Net packet. No big deal; it happens all the time, and SQL*Net handles it with "continuation packets". Only issue is that the client is taking a lot of time between each packet sent. Jack's conclusion that the client process (in the "client-server" database connection) is not providing data in a "timely fashion" is exactly correct. You most likely have a slow client process... Oracle documentation frequently tries to encourage mucking about with SDU/TDU parameters in SQL*Net configuration files, but I've rarely seen this be more effective than tuning the client process... :-) ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 10:08 AM > Lee, > > This is an idle wait event, meaning that the query > process is waiting on instructions from the client. > > Usually this process is benign, but sometimes can > indicate that the feeding process is not providing > data in a timely fashion. > > hth, > > jack silvey > > --- Robertson Lee - lerobe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > All, > > > > Oracle 8.0.5.0.0 > > Tru64 v4.0f > > > > We are running a job and statspack reports show that > > our only problem (it is > > running like a dog) is the following > > > > SQL*Net more data from client. > > > > Done some reading and still none the wiser.
