<<... Anyway from the subject line I
assume (OH, that word again) that you have a Unix process id that you want to
trace back to the session id. To do so,

    select sid from v$session, v$process

      where paddr = addr
      and spid = 'Unix Process ID';

Oracle 7.3.4 running on AIX 4.3.3

The ps command on our AIX box shows a UNIX process taking 50% of the CPU. The PID is 89510. When I try to find the corresponding session on the Oracle database it returns no rows. Is there a way I can map the given PID on UNIX to a session id on Oracle? See below for the query I ran.

SQL> l
  1 select sid from v$session
  2* where process like '%89510%'
SQL> / no rows selected
