V$sql-sql_fulltext is not properly visible

Question

Hi the process goes like this:
I fired this query :-"select sql_id from v$session where sid=&sid;"
The sid=22
i got sql_id=as45fgh
the i fired "select s.sql_text from v$sql s where s.sql_id='&sql_id';"
now the sql_fulltext colums shows the value but its not showing the whole query as such but when i execute "select sql_fulltext from v$sql" it show fullquery but its not the case in select s.sql_text from v$sql s where s.sql_id='&sql_id';"

Answer 1

That should be a CLOB containing then entire query.
See V$SQL in the Database Reference
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28320/dynviews_3042.htm
>
SQL_FULLTEXT CLOB Full text for the SQL statement exposed as a CLOB column. The full text of a SQL statement can be retrieved using this column instead of joining with the V$SQLTEXT dynamic performance view.

Post what you are seeing and also what you expect to see.
And I assume you know that SQL_ID is not necessarily unique for that view? Meaning there may be multiple records for the same id. So if you have more than one record you need to make sure you are looking at the one you want.
