Hi all, I was seeing the "slave exit" wait event appearing occassionally on a 9iR2 database last week but couldn't find much in the way of documentation. I know, I know, I know - it's not on the critical path for an essential process and isn't impacting performance. But inquiring minds would like to know what it is. Thanks for any info. - Charlotte --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Search presents - Jib Jab's 'Second Term' -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
