What do you mean by "context switch" PL/SQL->SQL ? As far as I know, context switch is an operating system concept, not an oracle concept ! Context switching has to do with CPU scheduling of processes, I don't know why you are concerned about that.

Why do you want to know that ? Do you have a performance problem at your site ? Received on Thu Mar 11 2004 - 13:12:22 CST
