Hi,

we are running 10.2.0.3 on Solaris 10
But my question was more related to what kind of possibilities i have to find out the root cause.
I still have seen heavy parsing but i'd like to know what sql statements there are running inside a given timeframe to see how to make them better. Also the AWR does not show some useful details, or is there a way to make this report more detailed ?
