You probably wanted to imitate humor by saying "abort"? Maybe "startup force"? May the force be with you. > > Creating a new session will almost take care of v$sesstat for you. Almost? Are you sure? Are you really, really sure? Whaddya mean by "take care of v$sesstat"? Concrete shoes? V$SESSION will be sleeping with the fishes? Is there a case in which I will get a new session and will not get a new statistics? > It > depend on triggers and client tool you use for this. They may do some > after logon activity for you. They may do some after logon activity for me? Like what? Sending my financial records to the IRS? I'm very picky about my database tools, I want them to execute my commands, no less, no more. That is why I use SQL*Plus and SQLDeveloper Here's the deal: I have some long running applications which I want to profile, without restarting them. The applications are long running and not restartable without cleanup. Very surprising for developers, the application actually uses DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO. I need to create a profile and say which module is the most expensive one. I was investigating several possibilities: 1) Resetting statistics table whenever module boundaries are crossed and thus collect the statistics with ease and elegance. 2) Creating a table to which I would store the values at beginning and at the end, forcing me to write a SQL to calculate them. Unfortunately, I'll have to do this. 3) Writing a Perl script which would produce the desired results by storing the intermediate results in hashes. Unfortunately, this is more work then 2), especially if I use analytic functions like "lead" or "lag". I was trying to see whether there is a way of getting away with option 1) under 10.2.0.2. Apparently not. -- Mladen Gogala http://www.mladen-gogala.com -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
