We have enabled monitoring for our indexes. The result from V$Object_Usage shows that start_monitoring date is not null and end_monitoring date is null. This means that monitoring has been started and has not yet been stopped. However why does column monitoring show the value as NO ? Does this mean that monitoring is not happening ? ex : TABLE_NAME INDEX_NAME MON USE START_MONITORING END_MONITORING ------------------ ------------------------- --- --- ------------------- ------------------- DOCMT_PCKG_ACTVTY DOCMT_PCKG_ACTVTY_ACTVTY_XFK NO NO 11/30/2003 17:56:57 thanks & regards ratnesh ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
