Hi Gurus, I was analyzing the output of 10046 event of a single session. Myself and my fellow coleage differ in the interpretation of the output statistics. Question 1 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The output Reads Elapsed times include waiting on following events: Event waited on Times Max. Wait Total Waited ---------------------------------------- Waited ---------- ------------ SQL*Net message to client 6 0.00 0.00 SQL*Net message from client 5 132.69 142.99 My Understanding of this output is=20 Times waited -- Number of times this event has waited. Here the user might have entered 7 statements hence it says number of times waited as 6 Max Waited -- Maximum duration of wait (Out of the 6 times it has waited) Total Waited -- Total Waiting time ( sigma of 6 wait times ) Pls confirm whether my understanding is correct. Question 2 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Say I turn on the SQL tracing at 12.00 and the session is idle till 1.00 and a single SQL statement is executed at 1.00. Now if I analyze the ouput. My undestanding is that, this 1 hour would be accounted in the "SQL*Net message from client" . Is my understanding correct??
