Djordje, It's hsecs from v$timer, this is what the 'db reference' says:
V$TIMER This view lists the elapsed time in hundredths of seconds. Time is measured since the beginning of the epoch, which is operating system specific, and wraps around to 0 again whenever the value overflows four bytes (roughly 497 days). regards, Mario -----Original Message----- Sent: vrijdag 24 januari 2003 13:55 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Anybody knows what is the reference point for the timing used in the "tim" column in the trace output, like in: PARSE #3:c=0,e=0,p=0,cr=0,cu=0,mis=0,r=0,dep=0,og=4,tim=832261739 EXEC #3:c=0,e=0,p=0,cr=0,cu=0,mis=0,r=0,dep=0,og=4,tim=832261739 Apparently the scale is 100 per second for 8i and 976,562.5 (1,000,000,000/1024) for 9, but I am not quite clear what could be the reference time (the time when counting of tim starts). In different databases I tried it, it is usually few months to a year back. BTW, this column can be used if one needs to find out the exact time when a query from the trace was run. Thanks.
