query progress meter

[Maria Quinn]

Hi,
I've just been asked if Oracle has an API which allows you to query the progress of a query, say, as a percentage of the whole time taken. I'm guessing that it would be an extremely complex algorithm to implement, if at all possible. Does anyone know if something like this exists?
Thanks,
Maria
