Yup: select topnsql from dba_hist_wr_control; TOPNSQL ---------- DEFAULT 1 row selected. I can't find the bug that was listed earlier by a poster, but I'll try to see if I can set up a test with the value at a much more reasonable number, like 10,000 or so.

Maybe you should try changing it from DEFAULT to MAXIMUM if you haven't tried that yet. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_wkrpos.htm#sthref8044 "DEFAULT will revert the system back to the default behavior of Top 30 for statistics level TYPICAL and Top 100 for statistics level ALL. Specifying MAXIMUM will cause the system to capture the complete set of SQL in the cursor cache. Specifying the number N is equivalent to setting the Top N SQL with the NUMBER type. Specifying NULL for this argument will keep the current setting." Regards, Brandon Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message or attachments hereto.
