对大部分DBA来说，V$SESSION_LONGOPS视图都不会陌生，以前在面试的时候，也有一些企业会问到如何查询数据库中运行时间比较长的SQL，就可以通过这个视图来查看。
V$SESSION_LONGOPS视图不但可以监控运行式时间比较长的SQL，也会记录RMAN备份、EXP/EXPDP、收集统计信息、排序等操作，基本数据库所有运行时间超过6秒的SQL都会记录在这个视图中，也有的DBA会定期检查这个视图来寻找可优化的SQL。
下面是这个视图的结构：
01
SQL> desc v$session_longops
02
名称 是否为空? 类型 注释
03
----------------------------------------- -------- ------------------ ------------------
04
SID NUMBER 和V$SESSION中的SID一样
05
SERIAL# NUMBER 和V$SESSION中的SERIAL#一样
06
OPNAME VARCHAR2(64) 操作的名称，如全表扫描
07
TARGET VARCHAR2(64) 被操作的对象名，如表名
08
TARGET_DESC VARCHAR2(32) TARGET的描述
09
SOFAR NUMBER 以完成的数量，如扫描多少数据块
10
TOTALWORK NUMBER 一共需要完成的数量
11
UNITS VARCHAR2(32) 计量单位
12
START_TIME DATE 开始时间
13
LAST_UPDATE_TIME DATE 最后一次调用set_session_longops的时间
14
TIMESTAMP DATE 特定操作的时间戳
15
TIME_REMAINING NUMBER 预计剩余时间，单位秒
16
ELAPSED_SECONDS NUMBER 开始操作到最后更新的时间
17
CONTEXT NUMBER
18
MESSAGE VARCHAR2(512) 对操作的描述
19
USERNAME VARCHAR2(30) 操作用户的名字
20
SQL_ADDRESS RAW(4) 用于关联V$SQL等视图
21
SQL_HASH_VALUE NUMBER 用于关联V$SQL等视图
22
SQL_ID VARCHAR2(13) 用于关联V$SQL等视图
23
SQL_PLAN_HASH_VALUE NUMBER 用于关联V$SQL等视图
24
SQL_EXEC_START DATE SQL开始运行的时间
25
SQL_EXEC_ID NUMBER SQL执行的标识符
26
SQL_PLAN_LINE_ID NUMBER SQL执行计划相关
27
SQL_PLAN_OPERATION VARCHAR2(30) SQL执行计划相关
28
SQL_PLAN_OPTIONS VARCHAR2(30) SQL执行计划相关
29
QCSID NUMBER 并行查询
下面简单做几个超过6秒的操作，来查看下这个视图。
先测试下insert操作。
01
SQL> create table longops_test as select * from dba_objects;
02
表已创建。
03
SQL> insert into longops_test select * from longops_test;
04
已创建65525行。
05
SQL> /
06
已创建131050行。
07
SQL> /
08
已创建262100行。
09
SQL> /
10
已创建524200行。
11
SQL> /
12
已创建1048400行。
13
SQL> commit;
14
提交完成。
现在INSERT操作已经超过6秒，查询下V$SESSION_LONGOPS视图。
1
SID SERIAL# OPNAME TARGET SOFAR TOTALWORK UNITS MESSAGE SQL_PLAN_OPERATION SQL_PLAN_OPTIONS
2
--- ------- --------- ---------------- ----- -------- ----- --------------- ------------------- ---------------

4
SYS.LONGOPS_TEST:
5
14895 out of
6
14895 Blocks done
这是已经运行结束的INSERT操作，可见SOFAR和TOTALWORK的值是一样的，在看下没运行完的SQL。
1
SQL> create table longops_ctas as select * from longops_test;
在SQL执行6秒后(还没运行完)时，看下V$SESSION_LONGOPS视图的状态。
01
SID SERIAL# OPNAME TARGET SOFAR TOTALWORK UNITS MESSAGE SQL_PLAN_OPERATION SQL_PLAN_OPTIONS
02
--- ------- --------- ---------------- ----- -------- ----- --------------- ------------------- ---------------

08
SYS.LONGOPS_TEST:

10
29785 Blocks done
可见，当前扫描了13275个数据块，总共需要扫描29785个数据块。RMAN备份和收集统计信息也同样会被这个视图记录。

下面是ORACLE官方文档对V$SESSION_LONGOPS视图的介绍：
view source
01
V$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.
02

03
To monitor query execution progress, you must be using the cost-based optimizer and you must:
04

05
?Set the TIMED_STATISTICS or SQL_TRACE parameters to true
06

07
?Gather statistics for your objects with the DBMS_STATS package
08

09
You can add information to this view about application-specific long-running operations by using the DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_SESSION_LONGOPS procedure.

16
ssions are cooperating in the long-running operation, then SERIAL# corresponds to
