Hi Does anyone know if the time shown in TKPROFed trace file such as 1168668 TABLE ACCESS FULL KK (cr=24641 pr=24630 pw=0 time=9349586 us) The time shown can be defect of time drifting issue? Because the query takes 6 seconds and it reports the scatter read took 9 seconds, not very logical :-) Thanks -- LSC call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Parse 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 Execute 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 Fetch 2 1.18 6.19 24630 24641 0 1 ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- total 4 1.18 6.19 24630 24641 0 1 Misses in library cache during parse: 1 Optimizer mode: ALL_ROWS Parsing user id: SYS Rows Row Source Operation ------- --------------------------------------------------- 1 SORT AGGREGATE (cr=24641 pr=24630 pw=0 time=6190750 us) 1168668 TABLE ACCESS FULL KK (cr=24641 pr=24630 pw=0 time=9349586 us) Elapsed times include waiting on following events: Event waited on Times Max.
