    I have been running this query all the time to monitor sorting in memory in relation to disk but today it's not working. Can anyone tell me where I'm missing something. I now it might be somethig trivial, but I still can't get it.



    SQL> select a.value "Disk Sorts", b.value "Memory Sorts",
    round(100 *b.value)/decode((a.value+b.value),
    0,1,(a.value+b.value)),2) "Pct Memory Sorts"
    from v$sysstat a, v$sysstat b
    where a.name = 'sorts (disk)'
    and b.name = 'sorts (memory)'
    0,1,(a.value+b.value)),2) "Pct Memory Sorts"
    *
    ERROR at line 3:
    ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

    If you format the query a little bit it becomes easier to see:

    select
    a.value "Disk Sorts",
    b.value "Memory Sorts",
    round
    (100 *b.value) /
    decode(
    (a.value+b.value),
    0,1,(a.value+b.value)
    ),2
    ) "Pct Memory Sorts"
    from v$sysstat a, v$sysstat b
    where a.name = 'sorts (disk)'
    and b.name = 'sorts (memory)'

    ...that you are missing a ( after the call to round
