这两天在一台10.2.0.4的数据库上面运行SQLT的报告，运行的很缓慢，大概等了1个小时还没出来，查看了一下执行SQLT会话的等待事件，显示latch:cache buffer chains。这里要说下，当SQLT运行的过程中，屏幕会有输出显示。如下所示：
To actually diagnose the problem behind the disconnect, read ALERT
log and provide referenced traces to Support. After the root cause
of the disconnect is fixed then reset SQLT corresponding parameter.
To monitor progress, login into another session and execute:
SQL> SELECT * FROM SQLTXADMIN.sqlt$_log_v;
… collecting diagnostics details, please wait …
In case of a disconnect review log file in current directory
If running as SYS in 12c make sure to review sqlt_instructions.html first
当时我们就一直卡在这个界面，出不来。这里告诉我们如果要监控SQLT进程，可以查询SELECT * FROM SQLTXADMIN.sqlt$_log_v。我们登陆了另外一个会话，做了如下查询，显示下面的结果。

可以看到10046的等待主要是集中在latch: cache buffers chains上的。看了下运行SQL的执行计划。

- dynamic sampling used for this statement按道理来说这个语句应该运行很快才对，怎么会出这种问题了，看到是动态采样的。于是我就想收集了一下这几个表的统计信息。发现统计信息居然还是锁住的。于是强行解锁把这几个表的统计信息收集了。

收集完了再次运行，SQLT的结果集就出来了。然后查看了一下新的执行计划。发现确实有改变。SQLT$_DBA_HIST_SQLSTAT从索引范围扫描变成了全表扫描。执行计划由nested loop变成了hash join。
