通过看这个表的结构，可以了解共享池中，SQL是如何运行的,这样可以了解不少关键的信息.
可以了解SQL全文,执行使用的内存，消耗的CPU，被装载的次数等等比较有意义的信息。
通过这个视图，可以了解最近被执行最多次数的SQL语句，被最多用户执行的SQL语句.当然共享池要足够大，设计的语句也应该尽量考虑到共享(例如一个很简单的就是多考虑变量绑定)，研究这个对于了解性能还是有一定作用的。

   AND T.USER_NAME IN ('DM', 'WH', 'IPD', 'MK')

关于共同点：
1）都存储了sql内容
2) 记录的都是位于内存中的sql内容
3) 因为是内存，所以都不保留历史记录

不同点：
1)存储的为止不都是相同。其中v$sql和v$sqlarea存储的sql都是位于shared sql area中的sql,而v$sqltext是位于sga中的sql。但文档没有明确说明这里的sga是否还包含了psa(私有sql区域－－共享服务器模式下）。
2)存储sql的方式也不同，v$sql和v$sqlarea都是用一行来存储sql全文，而v$sqltext用一行存储sql的一行。
3)v$sql不存储包含group by 的sql语句。通常这个视图，在每个查询执行完成后更新，但对于执行很久的sql,它是每5秒更新一次，这点对于查看sql执行状态是有意义的。
4)存储的明细不同－－这是最基本的。

后顺便提一下，v$sqltext_with_newline和v$sqltext是一样，不同的是前者并把换行符和tab替换为空格 ，这样更容易阅读。V$SQLSTATS和V$SQL,v$sqlarea一样都有提供CPU的统计数据.
