Subject: Tkprof ouput -- Query on times waited/max waited/total waited
Importance: High

Hi Gurus,

	I was analyzing the output of 10046 event of a single session.
Myself and my fellow coleage differ in the interpretation of the output =
statistics.

Question 1
=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D

The output Reads

Elapsed times include waiting on following events:
  Event waited on                             Times   Max. Wait  Total
Waited
  ----------------------------------------   Waited  ----------
------------
  SQL*Net message to client                       6        0.00
0.00
  SQL*Net message from client                     5      132.69
142.99


My Understanding of this output is=3D20

	Times waited -- Number of times this event has waited. Here the user =
might have entered 7 statements hence it says number of times waited as =
6

[Cary Millsap] Close. It means that there were six occasions when the db =
server was awaiting input from the client. It probably means that there =
were about six dbcalls, but even this can vary because of call bundling, =
pre-fetching, and so on.

	Max Waited -- Maximum duration of wait (Out of the 6 times it has =
waited)

[Cary Millsap] Yes. You can confirm this by checking the raw trace data.

	Total Waited -- Total Waiting time ( sigma of 6 wait times )

[Cary Millsap] Yes. Again, this is easy to confirm by examining the =
input data to tkprof.

Pls confirm whether my understanding is correct.


Question 2
=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D=3D3D

Say I turn on the SQL tracing at 12.00 and the session is idle till 1.00 =
and a single SQL statement is executed at 1.00.

Now if I analyze the ouput.

My undestanding is that, this 1 hour would be accounted in the  "SQL*Net =
message from client" . Is my understanding correct??

[Cary Millsap] Yes. This is what I call in Jeff's and my book =
"collection error." You probably don't need to optimize that hour, so =
you shouldn't collect timing data for that hour.


Best Regards

Sriram Kumar
