Thanks, Anjo. When session switching occurs does the new session get the same sid and serial#? And what happens with the session being "switched/replaced" - does the transaction it was performing get commited/rollbacked? I don't see XCTEND markers before those pesky WAIT #0 in the trace file. Also if session gets switched, wouldn't this terminate sql trace for the session (in my case it doesn't)?
