    Last Activity moment of session

    Hello,

    I'm looking for a column in a v$-view to determine the last activity moment for a session. I want to locate "sleeping" session and optionally kill them.

    In DBA Studio an item "Last Activity on [date]" is visible when you double click a session. That's the value I'm looking for.

    Can you guys help me?

    Thanks in advance.


    This is what I have sofar:
    Code:
    select username,sid,serial#,logon_time,status 
      from v$session
      where status<>'ACTIVE' and logon_time < trunc(sysdate)
      order by logon_time

    v$session.last_call_et results in a number,not a datetime-type.

    I found this via google:
    "I've used it (last_call_et) in the past to measure how long sessions have been inactive, but looks like it will show the elapsed time since the last query (last call) began as well. "

    Okay, this does the trick:

    Code:
    select
        sid,username,status,
        to_char(logon_time,'dd-mm-yy hh:mi:ss') "LOGON",
        floor(last_call_et/3600)||':'||
        floor(mod(last_call_et,3600)/60)||':'||
        mod(mod(last_call_et,3600),60) "IDLE",
        program
      from v$session
      where type='USER'
      order by last_call_et
    LAST_CALL_ET is the passed time since the last call and can be converted to time.

    Problem solved...
