can I see all the connections in Oracle 11g, using Toad 12?
Yes. There is a window in Toad called Session Browser that will show this.
Thanks, but those are sessions, and I have many more connections listed inth db than sessions … thanks for helping out a relative newbie!
Right, I thought you were referring to sessions. What do you mean then, by “connection”?
Hi John,
What I mean is the result of looking at v$process (I think), or this sql:
SELECT rl.snap_id, s.begin_interval_time, s.end_interval_time,
rl.instance_number, rl.resource_name, rl.current_utilization,
rl.max_utilization
FROM dba_hist_resource_limit rl, dba_hist_snapshot s
WHERE s.snap_id = rl.snap_id AND rl.resource_name = 'processes'
ORDER BY s.begin_interval_time desc, rl.instance_number;
Oh, if you are looking at the DBA_HIST* views then you are interested in historical data. Look at Database -> Monitor -> AWR Browser. There are a lot of built in queries and you can add your own if you want. You can select a range of snapshots to limit the time range that you are interested in. The results can be plotted on charts (over time) or displayed in a grid.
This is different than what you see in v$process. The Session Browser does have a tab for “Processes” - and this basically the contents of v$process (but it is limited to the sessions that are selected). The Session Browser is real-time data though, not historical.
