Larry,

Try the following.

Regards,
Bruce

this one will be faster but only shows the first 1000 characters of the SQL

select username, q.*

from

v$session s , v$sql q
where

              q.address = s . sql_address
       and q.hash_value = s.SQL_HASH_VALUE
       and s.username = '&userr'

;

this will get the FULL SQL being executed.
- without rule hint, under 81511 takes 8 mins vs 5 seconds.

select /*+RULE*/ a.address,

           a.buffer_gets, 
           a.executions, 
           b.piece, 
           b.sql_text

from v$sqlarea a, v$sqltext b , v$session s

where a.ADDRESS = b.ADDRESS 
and   a.HASH_VALUE = b.HASH_VALUE 
and   a.hash_value = s.sql_hash_value
and   s.sid=&sidd

order by 1,4;

an example of more detail for whole instance

select /*+RULE*/ a.address,

           a.buffer_gets, 
           a.executions, 
           buffer_gets/executions, 
           b.piece, 
           b.sql_text

from v$sqlarea a, v$sqltext b
where executions > 0
and a.ADDRESS = b.ADDRESS
and a.HASH_VALUE = b.HASH_VALUE
order by 1,5;

Hi all,

Is there any way to know what sql statament a connection is currently running.
My database 8.1.6.0.0 is suddenly causing our operation system (sun solaris 2.7) to
plunge into Swap. There are no other applications running on this machine.

I would like to know if I can look at what a connection is doing, do you have any
suggestions?

tia

Larry
