Sandeep, Glad to see somebody worrying about logic. But it's a mountain to climb. IMHO, try to concentrate on 'problem' code - check V$SQLAREA at regular intervals to see the top 'buffer_gets' queries, you do not only have individual queries, you will also see (command_type = 47) stored PL/SQL procedures, and they may point you to bad logic; listen to users to. Fortunately there is a lot of terrible code that nobody really worries about. The first thing I would do in your case would be to put calls to dbms_application_info everywhere, setting 'module' and 'action' to identify 'atomic business processes' (if such a thing exists), then use coffee-machine information and a bit of monitoring to check what really hurts and concentrate on that. Otherwise you risk spending a lot of time on improvements that nobody will ever notice. -- HTH, Stephane Faroult Oriole Software -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Stephane Faroult 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).
