Great website and script. Mr. Hunter appears to be one smart cookie :-) Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Ethan Post [mailto:post.ethan@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2005 1:15 PM To: Allen, Brandon Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: v$sql 'db block changes' Get perf_top_10_tables.sql from www.idevelopment.info under Oracle DBA Scripts. Modify it so it returns more than 10 tables. You should see your top insert/update/delete tables, or change the query so it only returns those type of actions. Then look in v$sql_area for insert/update/deletes against those tables. - Ethan On 12/15/05, Allen, Brandon <Brandon.Allen@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > If only it were that easy.
