RE: Anyone use V$SESSION_LONGOPS ???

Here's what I just got from OWS:



"After further research, this is a known issue that has development feed back as follows:

BUG:1348362 'SQL EXECUTION' INFORMATION IN V$SESSION_LONGOPS IS INACCURATE WHEN SORTING
Status: 92,Closed, Not a Bug

This is not a bug.. it is expected behaviour. As PQ relies on several slave processes to complete their partial work and report the statistics, and a co-ordinator to aggregate them and update the statistics, it is inherent in PQ execution model that updates to statistics is not smooth and in some particular cases it is possible that execution is 100% complete before updates are made. So I think it should be treated as limition of our PQ architecture rather than as a bug. Any attempt to guaruntee the smoothness of progress of 'SQL Execution' operation will call for change in design and architecture of PQ execution model. So I would treat this as not a bug, but a limitation which can not be fixed."


NOW THAT WAS ENTERTAINING!!! :-) Oracle Customer: Looks like a bug, walks like a bug, talks like a bug... Oracle Support: No, it's really just another innocuous insect.

Well here's what's curious...
Notice the changing SID-serial# with the same sql address and hash. Notice how elapsed seconds gyrates. Elapsed seconds goes from zero to 447,507,719 yet there were only a few seconds between the queries. How can a

session with 447,507,719 seconds of elapsed time suddenly appear??? Why are there sessions going back to November when the computer hasn't even been up that long? None of the sessions in V$SESSION_LONGOPS are in V$SESSION. The sql
address and hash is not extant in V$SQL, V$SQLAREA, etc. Is this view supposed to behave this way?

No it is not broken, unless someone explicitly updates underlying information it is not visible .... I monitor this when I am creating or rebuilding indexes to importing ... at that time Oracle will populate relevant fields, and that is really useful. Raj

Is my V$SESSION_LONGOPS view broken?

Check out the curious results below. Notice the changing SID-serial# and how elapsed seconds gyrates. None of the below sessions are in V$SESSION. The sql address and hash is not extant in V$SQL, V$SQLAREA, etc. (Note, we are using PQO with timed statistics.)
