Oracle Database Discussions

Hi friends,
What should be the value in created column of dba_objects ? The time when the object creation started or
when the object creation got completed?
I always thought created means when it gets completed not when it started.
I had this strange behaviour today in 11.2.0.2 DB.

SELECT DBMS_SQLTUNE.report_sql_monitor(
                                        sql_id       => '&1',
                                        type         => 'TEXT',
                                        report_level => 'ALL') AS report
FROM dual;
