As far as the remote database is concerned, your local database is its client, 
so "message to/from client" is what you should see.

A clue that you're looking at the right SQL is that the SQL coming into the 
remote database will be capitalised, double-quoted, with aliases like "Annn" 
for tables.

Subject: Tuning Over a DB Link (redux)

I’ve asked bits about this before, but I feel like I finally have made some 
headway… And I think it points at the DB Link as the culprit in our performance 
issue. We managed to trace one of our problem queries today, and we managed to 
find the session it spawned in the remote database and trace that too.

Locally:

  SQL*Net message from dblink               1013412        0.51        807.41
  SQL*Net more data from dblink                3586        0.19         13.56

That’s pretty clear I think.

One the remote side:

  SQL*Net message to client                  983709        0.00          2.13
  SQL*Net message from client                983709       23.26        479.04

My assumption here is that the local is waiting on the remote, but the remote 
is also waiting on the local? If that’s the case, if the db link in and of 
itself is a big part of our problem we will move the local schema into the 
remote database.

I guess my question is – am I interpreting the SQL*Net message from client on 
the remote side correctly? If the remote waits said “dblink” I’d consider that 
case closed. As it is, I still think the remote waits are from the incoming 
connection over the dblink – but not certain.

Can anyone confirm that? Or set me straight?

Thanks!
