Re: JBoss keeps sending select 'hello' from dual

select <something> from dual

is about as optimized as you can get these days - you'll be extremely unlikely to find a lower impact statement. The most optimized statement is still the one that you don't execute, but if you do have to execute one select <something> from dual is about as good as you get. I don't imagine that swapping to pl/sql will be lower impact!
