I think I've found a poor-man's performance monitor in SQL*PLUS. But I don't understand what it's telling me:

SQL> set timing on
SQL> select count(*) from ps_z_employees_vw;

 COUNT(*)


    21196

 real: 68820
SQL> Under "Timing," SQL*PLUS USER'S GUIDE AND REFERENCE /V 3.1 says "For information about the data TIMING displays, see the Oracle installation and user's manuals provided for your operating system."  However, ORACLE7 FOR AIX-BASED SYSTEMS / INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION GUIDE / R 7.0.13 is silent about what the "real" number measures. I'm running Oracle 7.0.15 and SQL*PLUS 3.1.1.9.3. Received on Tue Mar 05 1996 - 00:00:00 CET
