Ray - I'm a big fan of STATSPACK, but I think its job will be more to alert you to something wrong. I believe that STATSPACK just reads the v$sql table at the time it is executed.

   Sometimes this requires some detective work. Like the Bob Seger line "working on a mystery without any clues". Are you looking for ad-hoc queries or something an application created? If the latter, then go talk to the developers. If the former, the easiest way is to see which process takes up a lot of CPU, then trace it back to the SQL via the v$ tables.

   Sorry to be vague, but maybe you can give more details and I can be more helpful.

Are there any columns that could be tied to the standard sql reports from statspack to point the finger at the userid that is responsible for a certain load? Hoping to chase down a bad guy this moring.
