Hello Solaris 8 Oracle 9.2.0.4 The following piece of SQL is popping up in STATSPACK reports as expensive. It runs about once an hour. I can see that it is executed as the SYS user, but I don't know what is causing it to run. Any ideas what the source of this is? select i.obj#, i.flags, u.name, o.name from sys.obj$ o, sys.user$ u, sys.ind$ i where (bitand(i.flags, 256) = 256 or bitand(i.flags, 512) = 512) and (not((i.type# = 9) and bitand(i.flags,8) = 8)) and o.obj#=i.obj# and o.owner# = u.user# Ray
