Hi, the simplest way to be done is select * into :some_parameter from dual as (compared to select * from dual) no resultset-description has to be prepared.
But your monitor-result seem very strange, indeed. The only idea I have is that your database ran into a full-state (log/database) and all commands had to wait for backup of log or something like that. or did you do a load_systab in parallel? During this the table is dropped/re-created and perhaps some kind of locks caused the trouble. The table dual itself will never have more than one row. I assume that this effect will not be reproducable, is it?
