Frank,

Your query shows the Thread_id of the oracle foreground thread of the oracle.exe running on your database server. The 'program' column shows the program name of the client program used on the client machine v$session.process would (will) show the NTprocess_id:thread_id pair of the client program (on the client machine if running c/s) or if the client runs on unix, just the process_id of the client program. example:

       SID PROGRAM                                          PROCESS
---------- ------------------------------------------------ ---------
        12 sqlplus_at_panda.zko.dec.com (TNS V1-V3)            615736
        ...
        21 sqlplus.exe                                      780:1068

The (sid=21) sqlplus.exe is an NT version, the sid=12 sqlplus runs on the unix server. Both are connected to a unix server, but the process column does show the NT pid:tid combination, as it does on an NT machine, as I showed in my last mail. This is 'pstat' output on my NT client:
pid:30c pri: 8 Hnd: 113 Pf: 1724 Ws: 6796K sqlplus.exe  tid pri Ctx Swtch StrtAddr User Time Kernel Time State

 42c   8       484 77E99264  0:00:00.110  0:00:00.360 Wait:LpcReply
 6c0   8         4 77E83775  0:00:00.000  0:00:00.000 Wait:UserRequest
 5d4   8         2 77E83775  0:00:00.000  0:00:00.000 Wait:DelayExecution

Where pid=30c, tid=42c matches the above v$session.process column.

I hope this clears it up.

regards,
Mario Broodbakker

Mario

so how comes, that I am not able to find the corresponding SPID to my NT-processes ???

I tried the following statement :

############################################################################
#####################################

select

     substr(a.spid,1,5) pid,
     substr(b.sid,1,5) sid,
     substr(b.serial#,1,5) ser#,
     machine box,
     substr(b.username,1,10) username,
     -- b.server,
     substr(b.osuser,1,8) os_user,
     substr(b.program,1,30) program
     from v$session b, v$process a
     where
     b.paddr = a.addr
     and type='USER'
     order by spid;

## and I got :

PID   SID   SER#  BOX                                             USERNAME
OS_USER  PROGRAM                       
----- ----- ----- ----------------------------------------------- ----------
-------- -----------------------------
00111 58    10121 networkname                                     xx
xxxxxxx C:\myexe.exe

############################################################################
#######################################

(beware of wordwrap here)

If find the process myexe.exe on networkname in the taskmanager. It's PID is : 478 (HEX 1DE). The database is on a separate server in the network.

None of the processes, running on the client could pointed to a SPID on the server..... ???!!!!
