RE: HELP: Hanging Autotrace

Lisa
        Simple test: Can you do explain plan on some small query ? If it takes long time, then you know that your data dictionary uses CBO and access to DD is being slow. Try analyzing the data dictionary using 'dbms_utility.analyze_schema('SYS','COMPUTE') and in my case it fixed the problem...

Hi Jared, yes, good point.
And the answer is the latter, they don't care.  I'm the only one trying to help the users and I'm getting the same treatment as them (I don't expect queen treatment.  Just for them to recognize that the USERS NEED ATTENTION and I can help).  Oh well, this place is so close to home I can entertain myself with other things until I get to create a database in the next few months.  I have never spent so much time reading doco :) Thanks for you reply.
Lisa

Lisa,
Have you tried approaching this politically rather than technically?
Let the manager of the local users know what you are trying to do, and why you can't do it.
Then maybe some pressure can be applied to get you the privs you need.  You don't even need DBA privs, just SELECT ANY TABLE.
If the local folks don't care, or don't want to pursue it, then find something more interesting to do.  :) Jared
