All, in a tracefile generated by setting event 10046 I often find references to cursors that have no statement in this tracefile (no corresponding 'PARSING IN' line). Assuming the database is still up and running (and perhaps the session that corresponds to this tracefile still exists) how can I find the sqltext that belongs to the cursornumber mentioned in the tracefile? Thanks Paul. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
