Well, let's hope the session does some work! ;-) You can check v$sesstat for time spent on various operations, for example, 'CPU used by this session'. That certainly is to be added to the total wait time. But now that you mention it, I don't know which stats should add up to equal time

yep, look at CPU used by this session in V$sesstat. CPU + WAIT should get close to the logon_secs. There are a number of reasons why it can't and shouldn't but for simplicity go with it. Anjo. On Wednesday 04 September 2002 22:59, you wrote: I run the following query to compare the total

Not exactly. The granularity of capturing times increased in 9i, but as Gopal implied, there are just a lot more wait events in 9i as compared to the previous releases. Check this link out to see what new events were introduced in 9i : http://www.oraperf.com/reference.html and click on Wait

You might notice more total event completions in 9i because there are about 50% more segments of kernel code that are instrumented in 9i than there were in 8i (~200 events in 8i, ~300 in 9i). Clock granularity is 0.01 in 8i, so events that complete in the same 0.01-sec quantum as they began will

There is microsecond granularity in some of the columns, but not all platforms support microsecond timing. So some of these are centi seconds multipled by 1. There are ofcourse exceptions (like Compaq Alpha, that suppports msec clocks). There are more wait events in Oracle9i but the top

In general There are two problems in using the top five waits out of statspack: it reports idle waits; no matter how well-tuned your database there will always be a top five. The numbers presented show total time-waited in csecs for the time period. As Jared said we don't know the time
