Query completed but session still not released.

Question

Hi Everybody,
We are trying to refresh a materialized view using a below mentioned command,
exec dbms_snapshot.refresh('NESTER.MVREPAIR','?');
While querying v$session_longops we are getting the work complete output.
1* select sofar,totalwork, time_remaining from v$session_longops where sid='245'
SQL> /
SOFAR TOTALWORK TIME_REMAINING
32018 32018 0
However the session from where we are trying to referesh the materialized view is still not released.
It seems oracle is still doing something in the background.
Also after querying LAST_CALL_ET from v$session, the value keeps on changing.
select LAST_CALL_ET from v$session where sid =245;
LAST_CALL_ET
1099
SQL> /
LAST_CALL_ET
1102
Please suggest..!!

Answer 1

Am I missing something here?
LAST_CALL_ET is a number indicating the time since the last query from the session was fired. It would go on increasing till the session is connected and remains idle.
If you have not done anything from that session after the refresh, the LAST_CALL_ET is going to go on. Ever increasing.
