My comment on the Metalink note was:
The biggest problem with the Metalink article is that it supplies a ridiculousquery to report the "problem object" from the child latch address.
If you read the Metalink note you would see that they first tell you how to find the child latch address before telling you a bad way of using it.

How is the Value of "hladdr" to be specified for our NON-RAC database? Oracle 10gR2 Cheers Vivek ________________________________________From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jonathan Lewis [jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Do NOT run that
query on a real production system.You have to temper the touch count with knowledge aboutwhat MIGHT have been happening to the objects.To help you address the problem, you may get more cluesfrom a simple statspack/awr report - find the SQL that doesmost gets, and check the segment statistics for the objectssubject to most buffer gets - cross reference to see if thetwo sets of information are consistent, then see if youcan reduce the work done by those statements.
