You are right, that v$statname is not needed when querying v$sysstat, since v$sysstat has "name" column. But, if you look at v$sesstat: SQL> describe v$sesstat; Name ------------------------ SID STATISTIC# VALUE
It doesn't have "name" column, and that's where you'll need v$statname to find the name of statistic.
