We have an application that is consistently seeing this so-called "idle" wait:

select user
from
 dual

call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows
------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------


Parse        4      0.02       0.01          0          0

-------  ---------------------------------------------------
      1  FAST DUAL  (cr=0 pr=0 pw=0 time=13 us)

Elapsed times include waiting on following events:

I am very perplexed about this - what possible message is SQL*Net waiting for from the client?

Here is the corresponding info from the raw trace file (from the 4th and final fetch):

select user from dual
