Fermin The spid column in the v$process column matches the Unix process i.d. You may need to track it back through the Oracle shadow process.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 9:14 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I usually track our HP-UX 11.0 system with the 'top' command so I can notice when the system is under slow performance. If that happens, I use Toad to look for any active Oracle SQL query which may be heavy enough for degrading the performance. I think my question is simple, but since I am a newbie on this... how can I see who is executing an Oracle SQL that is taking all our CPU provided that I only see his PID with the TOP command? I only see the oracle process, but I don't know how to get the username and the SQL beside him. Thank you for your answers!
