Well,  I have executed the same SQL without the index (supressed it by
adding a +0 to a where clause)
and it completed in 32 minutes. Still nothing to write home about  , but
better than it was. However the
report is created by a reporting tool and I can't manipulate the SQL. Is
there a way to rebuild that
index or change some parameters based on my findings so that it does not
slow down my SQL?

Thanks for any input

thank you

Thank you. Goran and Fritz.

I have now identified an index with a number of "hot" extents.  I noticed
that all the extents in the output of my SQL
have the same child latch #. I am not sure whether this is OK.  I am now
trying to rerun my SQL without the index
that was on the hot list to see if that helps. This index is parallelized
and the SQL is executed with 8 readers and 8
writers. Should I change the value of freelist of my index based on that?

thank you

take the p1raw from the v$session_wait for waiting session and this is your
hladdr in the query you are looking for.

  You should find the hottest child latch yourself, and swap the value of
  ADDR on line 12 with the value of  hladdr of the child latch.

  if you execute this query, no rows should come up, because the chance of
  having an hladdr = 'ADDR' in x$bh is fairly low.

  cheers!

   He everybody:

   I am trying to tune a report which has been running for some time and
   has
   been timing out since last week.
   When I execute that report I see a large number of "latch free" wait
   events
   with p2 parameter equal to 98.
   Based on v$latch that is a cache buffer chain latch.  One of the reasons

   for this event can be a hot block.
   I have found the following query on the metalink to locate a hot block:
     1  select /*+ RULE */
     2    e.owner ||'.'|| e.segment_name  segment_name,
     3    e.extent_id  extent#,
     4    x.dbablk - e.block_id + 1  block#,
     5    x.tch,
     6    l.child#
     7  from
     8    sys.v$latch_children  l,
     9    sys.x$bh  x,
   10    sys.dba_extents  e
   11  where
   12    x.hladdr  = 'ADDR' and
   13    e.file_id = x.file# and
   14    x.hladdr = l.addr and
   15    x.dbablk between e.block_id and e.block_id + e.blocks -1
   16*   order by x.tch desc

   but it did not return anything. Is there anything else I need to look at

   related to this latch?

   Thanks for any insight

   thank you
