...58 minutes if I've calculated correctly. And yes, you're right: if you have 50 sessions and 49 are waiting for 1 minute each, then you have 49 minutes of waiting. Any system has an infinite capacity for waiting.

In case you pick up the book "Optimizing Oracle Performance," this phenomenon (what can you do with information like this?) is the subject of pages 210-217.

below means i have about 50 minutes of waits right? this is over 3 hours. This is total waits right? So if I have 50 sessions running and 49 are waiting for 1 minute each, I have 49 minutes of waits right?
