Re: Can this sql restarts by itself

Hi,

Different sql_exec_id means that it’s being called multiple times, this isn’t traditional SQL restarts but most likely being called again by the user code.

You should be able to pull out the previous executions of the SQL by providing their sql_exec_id to your SQL monitor query. Are they completing or are they failing?

Your SQL is being executed from plsql, would be worth looking at that code. My guess is something in the exception clause causing it to retry itself.

Thanks,
Andy
