V$SQL - alter system flush shared_pool; ;-) (Of course, only works for non-pinned SQL.) V$SESSTAT/V$SYSSTAT - I don't think it's possible. I did read, in a presentation from Anjo, I think, that it's possible to reset stats on disk I/O...but damned if I can remember how....I'll see if I can find it...... Found it! From Anjo's "San Stories" available as PDF on http://www.oaktable.net/ , exec dbms_system.kcfrms will reset stats shown in: V$FILESTAT, V$TEMPSTAT, and V$SESSION_EVENT for I/O related events. I think you're out of luck for V$SESSTAT/V$SYSSTAT.... Hope that helps, -Mark -- Mark J.
