Re: Anyone use V$SESSION_LONGOPS ???

No version numbers, and no O/S details.
Cary Millsap mentioned to me a little while ago that on one of his linux platforms the values you got from timed_statistics seemed to be a very good random number generator ;)

Possibly this is just a 32-bit/64-bit misalignment in code - I've seem similar silly numbers appearing for that reason.

|Well here's what's curious...
|Notice the changing SID-serial# with the same sql address and hash.
|Notice how elapsed seconds gyrates. Elapsed seconds goes from zero to
|447,507,719 yet there were only a few seconds between the queries.
How can a
|
|session with 447,507,719 seconds of elapsed time suddenly appear???
Why are
|there sessions going back to November when the computer hasn't even
been up
|that long? None of the sessions in V$SESSION_LONGOPS are in
V$SESSION. The
|sql
|address and hash is not extant in V$SQL, V$SQLAREA, etc. Is this view
|supposed to behave this way?
