Re: Estimate a query time

Suri,

If your attempt is to stop someone from executing a long running query, then have a look at Profiles (Look at CREATE PROFILE in the SQL Reference Guide). With a profile in place, you can limit a user's CPU time per session or per SQL statement. You can also limit their connection time, and the logical reads per session or SQL statement.

HTH,
Brian
