About the last_call_et column in v$session

user112472Aug 11 2010 — edited Aug 13 2010
Hello,

Can someone help me about a behaviour that is very strange ...

We have connection about SAS on a database which manipulate Oracle table and others SAS Structure.

The query is a "join" about that table and a "SAS Table" between million of lines in the Oracle table one ....

It last a long time ....

During the query, we have time to see at the v$session table...

At any time (it lasts 3h), we saw that the column 'last_call_et' of the v$session never change : it continuesly stay at 0.

What does it mean ? it means that SAS send a query every second ? Or this column shows the last "internal call"?

If this is the right reason, i would'nt understand why, when i take the same query( launched by SAS) in TOAD, there is no the same behaviour and this behaviuor is in that case the right behaviour : the session is ACTIVE but the last_call_et respresents really the time since i launched the query... So why when SAS do it, the last_call_et stay at 0 ? it works like SAS launch every second this query !!!!

Can someone help me ?

Thanks ...
