It will show you the SQL atatements that are residing in the shared pool. Once you flush shared pool all the statements cached there gets flushed, and so V$SQLAREA will only show information about the queries which are currently held by open cursors and are not flushed.
Regards Naveen -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 10:44 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Dear All, I wonder how long the life time of data in v$sqlarea. Is it a cumulative data collecting in v$sqlarea since last database startup?or do the data in v$sqlarea only reflect some recently data in Least Recetly List? Why do I ask this is after I used "alter system flush shared_pool", I could not see some SQL statements in v$sqlarea where they were there before.
