Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: tkprof elapsed time
Tanel,
Thanks for taking time commenting on this issue and for the insight.
I wouldn't argue if you call commit call "*cursor-less call*". And you are most probably right, it is not the same as seeing cursor slot allocated under which there are waits but there are no call information.
The main point I was trying to make that in the situation with missing call
information Tkprof or any other utility doesn't have a good choice when
assigning waits. It is actually fortunate if they can at least gather these
waits under one of the ancestors. In the scope of suggested by you ASSM
bug, the "*log file sync*" would be gathered under cursor for *insert
*statement
and would be properly reflected in this cursor "*elapsed time*". Which we
don't see in the case that Alex provided. Hopefully, you see the difference.
