Hi, I am planning to use TOAD 12.x and need advise if the session browser allows viewing sessions from all RAC instances when i am logged into one of the instance. Do the session browser use v$session or gv$session? Regards, Kuntal. ---

Yes the Session Browser shows all sessions and uses gv$session. **From:** kuntaldeb [[mailto:bounce-kuntaldeb@toadworld.com](mailto:bounce-kuntaldeb@toadworld.com)] **Sent:** Tuesday, October 28, 2014 8:02 AM **To:** [toadoracle@toadworld.com](mailto:toadoracle@toadworld.com) **Subject:** [Toad for Oracle - Discussion Forum] Session browser with ORACLE RAC **[Session browser with ORACLE RAC](http://www.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-oracle/f/10/t/23075.aspx)** Thread created by kuntaldeb Hi, I am planning to use TOAD 12.x and need advise if the session browser allows viewing sessions from all RAC instances when i am logged into one of the instance.

Yes. btw…When you connect to a RAC db, it’ll automatically use the gv$session view, and there is also an option (checkbox) to turn that off and use v$session views, if you wanted. If you’re connected to a non-RAC db, it’ll use the v$session views by default. **From:** kuntaldeb [[mailto:bounce-kuntaldeb@toadworld.com](mailto:bounce-kuntaldeb@toadworld.com)] **Sent:** Tuesday, October 28, 2014 8:30 AM **To:** [toadoracle@toadworld.com](mailto:toadoracle@toadworld.com) **Subject:** RE: [Toad for Oracle - Discussion Forum] Session browser with ORACLE RAC **[RE: Session browser with ORACLE RAC](http://www.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-oracle/f/10/p/23075/49765.aspx#49765)** Reply by kuntaldeb Hi Dennis, Thanks.
