Juan, I've figured out how to do this in 8i, but in 9i, I have not succeeded = in writing such a query. I spent some time running in circles a few = weeks ago, and never did get anywhere. For 8i, you can join x$bh (buffer headers) to x$kcbwds (working data = sets, I think), to x$kcbwbpd (buffer pool definitions) and see which = buffer is in which pool. However, in 9i, things are a bit different, = and I've not yet figured out exactly how. If anyone has or can come up = with a working version of this script for 9i, I'd be very interested in = seeing it.
