Isn't that something to do with 9i being able to report wait times in nanoseconds instead of (milliseconds? or microseconds?) in previous versions ?? Raj __ Rajendra Jamadagni MIS, ESPN Inc. Rajendra dot Jamadagni at ESPN dot com An

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 Even

Raj: Oracle9i gives timing information in Micro Seconds. Not Nano Seconds though modern CPUs clocks ticks in nano seconds. The older versions (8i and below) give timing info in Centi Seconds (1/100th of a second) . Best Regards, K Gopalakrishnan Bangalore, INDIA - Original Message - T

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 wait
