Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Query hangs suddenly
I tried running the 10046 on the good results and the hanging query. The
trace file generated for the hanging query gets written to in the first
minute of kicking off the query. After that it does not get updated at all,
even after 1.5 hrs. I killed the query.
Here is the last few lines from the trace file:
WAIT #3: nam='db file sequential read' ela= 325 p1=71 p2=42927 p3=1 WAIT #3: nam='db file scattered read' ela= 744 p1=71 p2=42929 p3=4 WAIT #3: nam='db file scattered read' ela= 733 p1=71 p2=42933 p3=6 WAIT #3: nam='db file sequential read' ela= 22 p1=71 p2=42940 p3=1 WAIT #3: nam='db file sequential read' ela= 323 p1=71 p2=42942 p3=1 WAIT #3: nam='db file sequential read' ela= 317 p1=71 p2=42944 p3=1 WAIT #3: nam='db file scattered read' ela= 79393 p1=71 p2=42946 p3=2 WAIT #3: nam='db file sequential read' ela= 2118 p1=71 p2=42948 p3=1 WAIT #3: nam='db file scattered read' ela= 41 p1=71 p2=42950 p3=2 WAIT #3: nam='db file scattered read' ela= 6953 p1=71 p2=42953 p3=10 WAIT #3: nam='db file scattered read' ela= 5416 p1=71 p2=42978 p3=15 WAIT #3: nam='db file scattered read' ela= 2531 p1=71 p2=42993 p3=15 WAIT #3: nam='db file scattered read' ela= 19086 p1=71 p2=43008 p3=15 WAIT #3: nam='db file scattered read' ela= 17044 p1=71 p2=43023 p3=15 WAIT #3: nam='db file scattered read' ela= 11060 p1=71 p2=43038 p3=15 WAIT #3: nam='db file sequential read' ela= 32 p1=71 p2=43054 p3=1 WAIT #3: nam='db file scattered read' ela= 825 p1=71 p2=43056 p3=12 WAIT #3: nam='db file scattered read' ela= 66 p1=71 p2=43068 p3=2 <<<--- Itwas hanging here for 1.5 hrs, I killed the query at this point *** 2007-03-01 18:28:08.774
