Hey Rodd, > Does anyone have a doc link that spells out the boundaries? Tanel Poder's blog: http://blog.tanelpoder.com/2009/05/06/free-dba_hist-awr-views-in-11g/ ...which points out differences in the docs between 11g and 10g as far as the Diagnostic Pack license and which views can be queried w/o the pack. Fun stuff! :) Rich -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
