V$SESSION_LONGOPS

V$SESSION_LONGOPS displays the status of various operations that run for longer than 6 seconds (in absolute time). These operations currently include many backup and recovery functions, statistics gathering, and query execution, and more operations are added for every Oracle release.

To monitor query execution progress, you must be using the cost-based optimizer and you must:

You can add information to this view about application-specific long-running operations by using the DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_SESSION_LONGOPS procedure.

Column Datatype Description
SID NUMBER Identifier of the session processing the long-running operation. If multiple sessions are cooperating in the long-running operation, then SID corresponds to the main or master session.
SERIAL# NUMBER Serial number of the session processing the long-running operation. If multiple sessions are cooperating in the long-running operation, then SERIAL# corresponds to the main or master session. SERIAL# is used to uniquely identify a session's objects. Guarantees that session-level commands are applied to the correct session objects if the session ends and another session begins with the same session ID.
OPNAME VARCHAR2(64) Brief description of the operation
TARGET VARCHAR2(64) Object on which the operation is carried out
TARGET_DESC VARCHAR2(32) Description of the target
SOFAR NUMBER Units of work done so far
TOTALWORK NUMBER Total units of work
UNITS VARCHAR2(32) Units of measurement
START_TIME DATE Starting time of the operation
LAST_UPDATE_TIME DATE Time when statistics were last updated for the operation
TIMESTAMP DATE Timestamp specific to the operation
TIME_REMAINING NUMBER Estimate (in seconds) of time remaining for the operation to complete
ELAPSED_SECONDS NUMBER Number of elapsed seconds from the start of the operations
CONTEXT NUMBER Context
MESSAGE VARCHAR2(512) Statistics summary message
USERNAME VARCHAR2(30) User ID of the user performing the operation
SQL_ADDRESS RAW(4 | 8) Used with the value of the SQL_HASH_VALUE column to identify the SQL statement associated with the operation
SQL_HASH_VALUE NUMBER Used with the value of the SQL_ADDRESS column to identify the SQL statement associated with the operation
SQL_ID VARCHAR2(13) SQL identifier of the SQL statement associated with the long operation, if any
SQL_PLAN_HASH_VALUE NUMBER SQL plan hash value; NULL if SQL_ID is NULL
SQL_EXEC_START DATE Time when the execution of the SQL started; NULL if SQL_ID is NULL
SQL_EXEC_ID NUMBER SQL execution identifier (see V$SQL_MONITOR)
SQL_PLAN_LINE_ID NUMBER SQL plan line ID corresponding to the long operation; NULL if the long operation is not associated with a line of the execution plan
SQL_PLAN_OPERATION VARCHAR2(30) Plan operation name; NULL if SQL_PLAN_LINE_ID is NULL
SQL_PLAN_OPTIONS VARCHAR2(30) Plan operation options; NULL if SQL_PLAN_LINE_ID is NULL
QCSID NUMBER Session identifier of the parallel coordinator
