This view lists statistics on shared SQL area without the GROUP BY clause and contains one row for each child of the original SQL text entered.
Column Datatype Description SQL_TEXT VARCHAR2(1000) The first thousand characters of the SQL text for the current cursor SHARABLE_MEM NUMBER Amount of shared memory, in bytes, used by this child cursor PERSISTENT_MEM NUMBER Fixed amount of memory, in bytes, used for the lifetime of this child cursor RUNTIME_MEM NUMBER Fixed amount of memory required during the execution of this child cursor SORTS NUMBER The number of sorts that was done for this child cursor LOADED_VERSIONS NUMBER 1 if context heap is loaded, 0 otherwise OPEN_VERSIONS NUMBER 1 if the child cursor is locked, 0 otherwise USERS_OPENING NUMBER The number of users executing the statement EXECUTIONS NUMBER The number of executions that took place on this object since it was brought into the library cache USERS_EXECUTING NUMBER The number of users executing the statement LOADS NUMBER The number of times the object was loaded or reloaded FIRST_LOAD_TIME VARCHAR2(19) The time stamp of the parent creation time INVALIDATIONS NUMBER The number of times this child cursor has been invalidated PARSE_CALLS NUMBER The number of parse calls for this child cursor DISK_READS NUMBER The number of disk reads for this child cursor BUFFER_GETS NUMBER The number of buffer gets for this child cursor ROWS_PROCESSED NUMBER The total number of rows the parsed SQL statement returns COMMAND_TYPE NUMBER The Oracle command type definition OPTIMIZER_MODE VARCHAR2(10) Mode under which the SQL statement is executed OPTIMIZER_COST NUMBER The cost of this query given by the optimizer PARSING_USER_ID NUMBER The user ID of the user who originally built this child cursor PARSING_SCHEMA_ID NUMBER The schema ID that was used to originally build this child cursor KEPT_VERSIONS NUMBER Indicates whether this child cursor has been marked to be kept pinned in cache using the DBMS_SHARED_POOL package ADDRESS RAW(4) The address of the handle to the parent for this cursor TYPE_CHK_HEAP RAW(4) The descriptor of the type check heap for this child cursor HASH_VALUE NUMBER The hash value of the parent statement in the library cache PLAN_HASH_VALUE NUMBER A numerical representation of the SQL plan for this cursor. Comparingone PLAN_HASH_VALUE to another easily identifies whether or not two plans are the same (rather than comparing the two plans line by line).
CHILD_NUMBER NUMBER
The number of this child cursor MODULE VARCHAR2(64) Contains the name of the module that was executing at the time that theSQL statement was first parsed as set by calling DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO. SET_MODULE
The hash value of the module that is named in the MODULE column ACTION VARCHAR2(64) Contains the name of the action that was executing at the time that theSQL statement was first parsed as set by calling DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO. SET_ACTION
The hash value of the action that is named in the ACTION column SERIALIZABLE_ABORTS NUMBER The number of times the transaction fails to serialize, producing ORA- 08177 errors, per cursor OUTLINE_CATEGORY VARCHAR2(64) If an outline was applied during construction of the cursor, thiscolumn displays the category of that outline. Otherwise the column is left blank.
CPU_TIME NUMBER CPU time (in microseconds) used by this cursor for parsing/executing/ fetching
ELAPSED_TIME NUMBER Elapsed time (in microseconds) used by this cursor for parsing/ executing/fetching
OUTLINE_SID NUMBER
Outline session identifier CHILD_ADDRESS RAW(4) Address of the child cursor SQLTYPE NUMBER Denotes the version of the SQL language used for this statement REMOTE VARCHAR2(1) (Y/N) Identifies whether the cursor is remote mapped OBJECT_STATUS VARCHAR2(19) Status of the cursor (VALID/INVALID) LITERAL_HASH_VALUE NUMBER The hash value of the literals which are replaced with system generatedbind variables and are to be matched, when CURSOR_SHARING is used. This is not the hash value for the SQL statement. If CURSOR_SHARING is not used, the value is 0.
LAST_LOAD_TIME
VARCHAR2(19)
