Question

Hi....!!
I am giving below the TKPROF output for the following environ: NT4.0,11.0.3,8.0.5.
The issue is that we had tuned the above db and a particular report, which used to run for about 2 hours, is now taking about 2 days...!!! While all the other reprts and applications are running fine, this one alone is making me loose sleep.....
The trace file was generated through DBMS_SYSTEM.SET_SQL_TRACE_IN_SESSION. Any feedback is welcome.....
Thanks in advance.....
The outptut:

Answer 1

Is the problematic query in this trace file? I'm not seeing anything with an elapsed time more than 1 second, let alone 2 days...
Can you explain how you "tuned the above db"? What did you change?
