You can see what some of these do by looking in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg/oraus.msg

		Hi all,

		Since a lot of people send me email saying that they are
interested in
		those events that I said, I decide to post it to the whole
group.

                All these events I set was instructed by Oracle support (in UK! not in

                US.), he does not tell me what exactly it is doing for each event. But I

                gradually find out some myself.

                The event that ask SMON to forget about cleaning temporay segment and stop

                cleaning up the OBJ$ table (etc... at lesat that is what the support told

                me ) are these:

		event="10061 trace name context forever, level 10"
		event="10052 trace name context forever, level 10"
		event="10069 trace name context forever, level 10"

		I will suggest you NOT TO USE them until you are really
running into some
		serious trouble.

		Winnie
