Reading Cary's "Optimizing Oracle Performance", page 91 it says: "A database call with dep=n+1 is the recursive child of the first SUBSEQUENT (empasis mine) dep=n database call listed in the SQL trace data stream"
Does this apply to the SQL issued from PL/SQL? I am looking at the simple packaged stored proc: PACKAGE BODY nav_tree_pkg is PROCEDURE GET_NAV_PARENT_NODE_ID ( p_NodeId IN NUMBER, p_ParentNodeId OUT NUMBER) IS BEGIN SELECT PARENT_NAV_NODE_ID INTO p_ParentNodeId FROM NAV_NODE WHERE NAV_NODE_ID = p_NodeId; EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN p_ParentNodeId := -1 ; END; -- Procedure END; ... and here's what I see in the trace (sorry the lines are probably wrapped): ===================== PARSING IN CURSOR #1 len=94 dep=0 uid=83 oct=47 lid=83 tim=1617285502494 hv=1138148843 ad='605d0998' BEGIN nav_tree_pkg.get_nav_parent_node_id( :p_nodeid, :p_parentnodeid ); END; END OF STMT PARSE #1:c=0,e=141,p=0,cr=0,cu=0,mis=0,r=0,dep=0,og=4,tim=1617285502483 BINDS #1: bind 0: dty=2 mxl=22(22) mal=00 scl=00 pre=00 oacflg=01 oacfl2=0 size=48 offset=0 bfp=800003fbc005ff80 bln=22 avl=01 flg=05 value=0 bind 1: dty=2 mxl=22(22) mal=00 scl=00 pre=00 oacflg=01 oacfl2=0 size=0 offset=24 bfp=800003fbc005ff98 bln=22 avl=00 flg=01 ===================== PARSING IN CURSOR #2 len=68 dep=1 uid=98 oct=3 lid=98 tim=1617285503241 hv=1778717541 ad='606795e8' SELECT PARENT_NAV_NODE_ID FROM NAV_NODE WHERE NAV_NODE_ID = :b1 END OF STMT PARSE #2:c=0,e=60,p=0,cr=0,cu=0,mis=0,r=0,dep=1,og=4,tim=1617285503230 BINDS #2: bind 0: dty=2 mxl=22(21) mal=00 scl=00 pre=00 oacflg=03 oacfl2=4000000000000001 size=24 offset=0 bfp=800003fbc005f660 bln=22 avl=01 flg=05 value=0 EXEC #2:c=0,e=151,p=0,cr=0,cu=0,mis=0,r=0,dep=1,og=4,tim=1617285503563 FETCH #2:c=0,e=40,p=0,cr=2,cu=0,mis=0,r=1,dep=1,og=4,tim=1617285503648 WAIT #1: nam='SQL*Net message to client' ela= 2 p1=1413697536 p2=1 p3=0 EXEC #1:c=0,e=1037,p=0,cr=2,cu=0,mis=0,r=1,dep=0,og=4,tim=1617285503786 WAIT #1: nam='SQL*Net message from client' ela= 2470 p1=1413697536 p2=1 p3=0 ===================== ... Totaly different calls ===================== So here it looks like the child CURSOR #2 with dep=1 is emitted AFTER the parent (CURSOR #1, dep=0) Thanks, Boris Dali. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Boris Dali INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
