Now , *that* is thinking "beyond the box". a. Something in Oracle (10046) b. Something else -- the script / job identifying it's own tracefilename c. Something on FileSystem (the trace file) d. A named pipe e. A sleep interval f. A programming language other then the Bourne shell ! All very doable. But would be difficult to explain !It is easier to say "I rewrote the SQL query and reduced the scope of the date-range in the query" then to say a. b. c. d. e. f when explaining the solution to User Management. !

Hemant, > How do you control a session's IO rate ? Create a pipe instead of the while which would be created if you enabled tracing. Then start a script which periodically reads bunch of rows from tracefile pipe and just discards them.
