DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY

DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY displays the history of the contents of the in-memory active session history of recent system activity. This view contains snapshots of V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY.

EVENT VARCHAR2(64)   If SESSION_STATE = WAITING, then the event for which the session was waiting at the time of sampling.

If SESSION_STATE = ON CPU, then this column will be NULL.

P3 NUMBER   Third additional parameter
WAIT_CLASS VARCHAR2(64)   Wait class name of the event for which the session was waiting at the time of sampling. Interpretation is similar to that of the EVENT column. Maps to V$SESSION.WAIT_CLASS.
WAIT_CLASS_ID NUMBER   Wait class identifier of the event for which the session was waiting at the time of sampling. Interpretation is similar to that of the EVENT column. Maps to V$SESSION.WAIT_CLASS_ID.
WAIT_TIME NUMBER   Total wait time for the event for which the session last waited (0 if currently waiting)
SESSION_STATE VARCHAR2(7)   Session state:
  • WAITING

  • ON CPU
