I tried this and did find a session with the corresponding sql_id. That user is at lunch right now though.
There are several other statements with the same kind of issues, they look to all be originating from a few servers that are our terminal servers for our users. The sessions all seem to be idle for some time. every now an then when I run the select a random session shows up but just briefly. Received on Mon Jan 07 2008 - 11:28:37 CST
