Under what conditions would I not be able to obtain any SQL from V$SQLAREA for any given SID? 1 select username, osuser, sql_text 2 from v$session ss, v$sqlarea sa 3 where ss.sid = 861 4 and ss.sql_address = sa.address 5* and ss.sql_hash_value = sa.hash_value [EMAIL PROTECTED]> / no rows selected [EMAIL PROTECTED]> select * from v$session where sid = 861; SADDR SID SERIAL# AUDSID PADDR USER# USERNAME COMMAND TADDR -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- -------------- ---------- -------- LOCKWAIT STATUS SERVER SCHEMA# SCHEMANAME OSUSER PROCESS -------- -------- --------- ---------- ------------------------------ --------------- --------- MACHINE TERMINAL ---------------------------------------------------------------- --------- PROGRAM TYPE SQL_ADDR SQL_HASH_VALUE PREV_SQL ------------------------------------------------ ---------- -------- -------------- -------- PREV_HASH_VALUE MODULE MODULE_HASH --------------- ------------------------------------------------ ----------- ACTION ACTION_HASH -------------------------------- ----------- CLIENT_INFO FIXED_TABLE_SEQUENCE ROW_WAIT_OBJ# ---------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- ------------- ROW_WAIT_FILE# ROW_WAIT_BLOCK# ROW_WAIT_ROW# LOGON_TIM LAST_CALL_ET -------------- --------------- ------------- --------- ------------ AF4518E4 861 680 47669205 AF289B1C 2494 OPS$RCAMPBEL 0 INACTIVE DEDICATED 2494 OPS$RCAMPBEL rcampbel 25645 titan pts/200 runform30@titan (TNS interface) USER 00 0 A54EFF6C -2.129E+09 frmula_inq 1635528872 from menu_driver 306861083 683581 -1 14 137853 28 11-APR-02 117 -- Charlie Mengler Maintenance Warehouse [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10641 Scripps Summit Ct. 858-831-2229 San Diego, CA 92131 Daylight Savings Time means that everybody gets up 1 hour earlier. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Charlie Mengler INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
