Hi, You can find this information in the awr tables. The execution times and such will be averages for the executions between the 2 snapshots. set linesize 120 set pages 999 column avg_elapsed_sec format 99999D99 column disk_reads format 999999999 column buffer_gets format 999999999 select to_char(snap.begin_interval_time, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') btime, to_char(snap.end_interval_time, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') etime, snap.snap_id, snap.instance_number, sqlstat.executions_delta nbr_executions, (sqlstat.elapsed_time_delta / sqlstat.executions_delta/1000000) avg_elapsed_sec, (sqlstat.disk_reads_delta / sqlstat.executions_delta) disk_reads, (sqlstat.buffer_gets_delta / sqlstat.executions_delta) buffer_gets from dba_hist_snapshot snap, dba_hist_sqlstat sqlstat where snap.snap_id = sqlstat.snap_id(+) and snap.instance_number = sqlstat.instance_number(+) and sql_id = '&sql_id' order by snap.snap_id, snap.instance_number; Note that you are only allowed to access the awr tables when you have licensed the diagnostic pack. Which is not available for Standard Edition, although the tables are there and awr snapshots are enabled by default (and no, I don't know what the guys at Oracle where smoking when they came up with this rule).

If possible also how long executions take and if the execution plan varies. Database version is 10.2.0.4 Standard Edition on Windows. Do I have to schedule a job to query v$sqlarea regularly? Or is there something better (Statspack?) Thanks for your help. Regards Ingrid Voigt -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
