Hi Jonathan/Anjo/Sam: Let me say that v$system_event (and I assume it´s valid for v$session_event too) does not report the enqueue average wait time correctly. (unless until version 8.1.6, I don't know what version are you using) To calculate the precise number of enqueue waits you have to use

Tracy, The best thing you can do to your sanity is to completely ignore these kinds of ratios. If the wait interface shows a problem you might now and then end up looking at certain ratios in order to determine the real reason for waits, but that's it. Ratios as the ones you mention are

Yes you could, but one needs to be aware of the security implications. One hopes that nobody is running their external procedure listener under a privileged user such as oracle or root.If so who ever could use the PL/SQL procedure could rename YOU right out of a job. Ian MacGregor

Storing dates as varchar2 doesn't sound like a good idea to me, especially in a data warehouse. All date comparisons will require converting to date type. In many cases you probably don't want to stored dates in your data warehouse anyway. They should be in a robust date dimension table.
