ash_wait_chains.sql

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
-- File name:   ash_wait_chains.sql (v0.2 BETA)
-- Purpose:     Display ASH wait chains (multi-session wait signature, a session
--              waiting for another session etc.)
--              
-- Author:      Tanel Poder
-- Copyright:   (c) http://blog.tanelpoder.com
--              
-- Usage:       
--     @ash_wait_chains <grouping_cols> <filters> <fromtime> <totime>
--
-- Example:
--     @ash_wait_chains username||':'||program2||event2 session_type='FOREGROUND' sysdate-1/24 sysdate
--
-- Other:
--     This script uses only the in-memory V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY, use
--     @dash_wait_chains.sql for accessiong the DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY archive
--
--     Oracle 10g does not  have the BLOCKING_INST_ID column in ASH so you'll need
--     to comment out this column in this script. This may give you somewhat
--     incorrect results in RAC environment with global blockers.
--
