Re: how to reduce SQL*Net more data to client wait event

2002-08-21 Thread Anjo Kolk
No, this is "to client", so it is the result of a query (either to many columns or too many rows returned). Large SQL statements would result in "from client" during the Parse phase and if people keep on parsing the same statement, the client side will keep on sending it to the server.

Yeah, that's what I do too. I just wish it wouldn't clobber the stats on the indices after I've so carefully gathered them. We have the 6.2 sapdba, so I don't think it's using dbastatc as much to control when and how it does the stats. Russ -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, August

Geez, after re-reading my post, it seems that it didn't make much sense to me, so to clarify... I had a cursor in my procedure that took as an IN param a varchar2 variable. The cursor failed to return any rows because in my where clause I was comparing a char field against a varchar2 variable.
