> How can I be sure that the [direct path write] waits > are being caused by DBWR and not LGWR? In v$session_wait, for the "direct path write" wait event P1 is the file number. Waits for DBWR will be associated with a different set of files than waits for LGWR. Set up a loop to query v$session_wait every 5 seconds -- INSERT INTO test_table SELECT P1 FROM v$session_wait WHERE wait equals "direct path write". Let it run for a while to collect values of P1 for this wait event into your test table. Then SELECT from the test table, doing a group by and count(*), so you can see which files are involved with these waits. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Greg Moore INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
