Thanks, Cary.

Could you elaborate what do you mean by "wait events
associated with COMMIT processing"? Why does Oracle
need this "exchange of messages" with the client
(well, with the app server really in my case of a
3-tier deployment) to perform a commit?

[Cary Millsap] The event most often associated with COMMIT processing
that is attributed to cursor #0 is 'log file sync'. 

In any event, as I described earlier in my case I
think Cursor #0 doesn't fall in neither of the two
uses you mentioned.

Bug 2425312 is RPC related as I understand. I don't
work distributed (single DB) and app server (and
clients - thin) don't have their own SQL engine, so
all SQL processing is happening strictly on the DB
server. So this doesn't seem to apply to me.

[Cary Millsap] Oracle Forms and one of Oracle's report writers (I forget
the name) trigger this bug).

And I see Cursor #0 used with no commits/rollbacks as
part of one Oracle transaction.


I see these WAIT #0 flying back and forth between DB
and the app server sometimes 20 times just before
stored procs are called and I can't figure out why.
Another bug?

[Cary Millsap] I'm very curious, too. I don't know the answer. Can you
produce a minimal test case that reproduces the behavior?

Thank you,
Boris Dali.
