Could be "SQL*Net message from client" Query v$session_event to see what else a session has waited on:
select sess.username, sess.sid, se.event, se.total_waits, se.total_timeouts, se.time_waited/100 time_waited, se.average_wait from v$session_event se, v$session sess where event like '%' and sess.sid = se.sid and sess.username is not null order by username, sid; Jared "Terrian, Tom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/04/2002 01:59 PM Please respond to ORACLE-L To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: waits vs. logons I run the following query to compare the total waits for a session verses the seconds logged on: select a.sid, a.ontime longon_secs, round(b.waittime) wait_secs from (select sid, (sysdate - logon_time)*24*60*60 ontime from v$session ) a, (select sid, sum(time_waited)/100 waittime from v$session_event group by sid) b where a.sid = b.sid; I get the following results: SID LONGON_SECS WAIT_SECS ---------- ----------- ---------- 1 595995 595989 2 595994 471204 3 595994 595585 4 595994 594580 5 595994 595492 6 595994 593639 9 595993 577157 14 4943 1303 24 595844 588441 26 1733 1728 27 5308 2478 29 517269 0 32 53 0 35 415158 13 50 140478 140371 51 719 507 56 14507 8706 59 2269 221 I am very much a novice when it comes to wait statistics. When a session, for example #51, has been logged on for 719 seconds but has experienced only 507 wait seconds, what did it do the rest of the time? I am assuming some kind of work? Any way to determine what?
