We have the peculiar SQL statements that are executed in PL/SQL as an "execute immediate" for application reasons. When I look up the SQL statement and get the SQL_ID and check DBA_HIST_SQLSTAT, I'm getting 0 executions for both total & delta. For the 1 row I see in DBA_HIST_SQLSTAT I have approx. 2 minutes of execution time - but according to the application code that logs the execution, the statement took 14 minutes. My AWR snapshots are set to 10 minute intervals and I would expect the statement to span multiple snapshots but it only appears once. I've also modified my TOPNSQL = 500 and still no joy. Could it be that execute immediate statements aren't captured correctly?? Anyone have any ideas/thoughts? Chris Taylor Oracle DBA Parallon IT&S -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
