Hi,

I am using Oracle 9i R2 on Linux

I have a query for which Execution Plan shows index access (single block access)

If I have a executed the query and it is not completed for long time, is there a way to find out whether it is really executing and what is the Progress of the query?

Thanks and Regards,
Pratap

Did you read the sticky on top of the forum?
Did you try what is indicated inside?

Hi Michel,

I have ready the sticky and i am participating this forum for a long time, so will adhere to the rules.

However, this question is not related to particular query and many times i am helpless with some queries which show index access but stall for a long time.

Thanks and Regards,
Pratap

I was talking about this sticky: 10g - How to Identify Performance Bottleneck which is more general than its title and talk about query tuning.

You can always activate trace for the sesson executing your query.
Have a look at How to set trace by Pete Finnigan.

First determine the SID (& SERIAL#) of the session with the "long running" query.

SELECT * FROM V$SESS_IO WHERE SID = <long_sid>;
multiple time with short delay between invocation.
If numbers are increasing, then the query is retrieving results.

Many Thanks Michel !!

I will go through the link

However,with 9i R2 i am using
If i start the trace while the statement has already started executing and eventually if i stop the trace after some time say 30 min., the resulted tkprof file shows SQL Statements executed in session as 0. which will not help me if my query is really executing and where it has reached.

Here, do you mean rather than tkprof shall i start looking the raw trace file itself for the findings?

Thanks and Regards,
Pratap

Hello Anacedent,

i missed your post before earlier reply.

I will try the v$sess_io and will let you know the results ...many thanks for this.

To know further..Is it like that
The muliblock I/O queries appear in v$session_lonops and Single Block I/O queries appear in v$sess_IO?

Or Muliblock I/O ones appear both the places?

Thanks and Regards,
Pratap

Yes, look at the raw trace, it is not difficult to read.
You can also query v$session_wait to see on what is waiting your query but I prefer 10046/SQL trace.
