For DML, make sure all objects for which you want to capture DML stats have LOGGING set, then use SYS.DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS. I think 10g sets this automatically, but earlier releases require you to set it automatically. These stats get reset per object each time DBMS_STATS/ANALYZE is run. Using this method you'd have to take periodic snapshots of the view. Dave ___________________________________ David C.

I know from V$session we can find out what types of SQL statements that are being fired but that is during that instance of time only.
