V$SESSION中的常用列
V$SESSION是基础信息视图，用于找寻用户SID或SADDR。不过，它也有一些列会动态的变化，可用于检查用户。如例：
SQL_HASH_VALUE，SQL_ADDRESS：这两列用于鉴别默认被session执行的SQL语句。如果为null或0，那就说明这个session没有执行任何SQL语句。PREV_HASH_VALUE和PREV_ADDRESS两列用来鉴别被session执行的上一条语句。
注意：当使用SQL*Plus进行选择时，确认你重定义的列宽不小于11以便看到完整的数值。
STATUS：这列用来判断session状态是：
Achtive：正执行SQL语句(waiting for/using a resource)
Inactive：等待操作(即等待需要执行的SQL语句)
Killed：被标注为删除
下列各列提供session的信息，可被用于当一个或多个combination未知时找到session。
Session信息
SID：SESSION标识，常用于连接其它列
SERIAL#：如果某个SID又被其它的session使用的话则此数值自增加(当一个 SESSION结束，另一个SESSION开始并使用了同一个SID)。
AUDSID：审查session ID唯一性，确认它通常也用于当寻找并行查询模式
USERNAME：当前session在oracle中的用户名。
Client信息
数据库session被一个运行在数据库服务器上或从中间服务器甚至桌面通过SQL*Net连接到数据库的客户端进程启动，下列各列提供这个客户端的信息
OSUSER：客户端操作系统用户名
MACHINE：客户端执行的机器
TERMINAL：客户端运行的终端
PROCESS：客户端进程的ID
PROGRAM：客户端执行的客户端程序
要显示用户所连接PC的 TERMINAL、OSUSER，需在该PC的ORACLE.INI或Windows中设置关键字TERMINAL，USERNAME。
Application信息
调用DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO包以设置一些信息区分用户。这将显示下列各列。
CLIENT_INFO：DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO中设置
ACTION：DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO中设置
MODULE：DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO中设置
下列V$SESSION列同样可能会被用到：
ROW_WAIT_OBJ#
ROW_WAIT_FILE#
ROW_WAIT_BLOCK#
ROW_WAIT_ROW#

Column View Joined Column(s)
SID V$SESSION_WAIT,,V$SESSTAT,,V$LOCK,V$SESSION_EVENT,V$OPEN_CURSOR SID
(SQL_HASH_VALUE, SQL_ADDRESS) V$SQLTEXT, V$SQLAREA, V$SQL (HASH_VALUE, ADDRESS)
(PREV_HASH_VALUE, PREV_SQL_ADDRESS) V$SQLTEXT, V$SQLAREA, V$SQL (HASH_VALUE, ADDRESS)
TADDR V$TRANSACTION ADDR
PADDR V$PROCESS ADDR
示例：
1.查找你的session信息
SELECT SID, OSUSER, USERNAME, MACHINE, PROCESS
FROM V$SESSION WHERE audsid = userenv('SESSIONID');
2.当machine已知的情况下查找session
SELECT SID, OSUSER, USERNAME, MACHINE, TERMINAL
FROM V$SESSION
WHERE terminal = 'pts/tl' AND machine = 'rgmdbs1';
查找当前被某个指定session正在运行的sql语句。假设sessionID为100
select b.sql_text
from v$session a,v$sqlarea b
where a.sql_hash_value=b.hash_value and a.sid=100
寻找被指定session执行的SQL语句是一个公共需求，如果session是瓶颈的主要原因，那根据其当前在执行的语句可以查看session在做些什么。
.如果数据库瓶颈是系统资源(如：cpu,内存)，并且占用资源最多的用户总是停留在某几个服务进程，那么进行如下诸项：
1>.找出资源进程
2>.找出它们的session,你必须将进程与会话联系起来。
3>.找出为什么session占用了如此多的资源
2.SQL跟踪文件名是基于服务进程的操作系统进程ID。要找出session的跟踪文件，你必须将session与服务进程联系起来。
3.某些事件，如rdbms ipc reply，鉴别session进程的Oracle进程ID在等什么。要发现这些进程在做什么，你必须找出它们的session。
4.你所看到的服务器上的后台进程(DBWR,LGWR,PMON等)都是服务进程。要想知道他们在做什么，你必须找到他们的session。
V$PROCESS中的常用列
ADDR：进程对象地址
PID：oracle进程ID
SPID：操作系统进程ID
V$PROCESS中的连接列
Column View Joined Column(s)
ADDR V$SESSION PADDR
示例：
1.查找指定系统用户在oracle中的session信息及进程id，假设操作系统用户为：junsansi
select s.sid,s.SERIAL#, s.username,p.spid
from v$session s, v$process p
where s.osuser = 'junsansi'
and s.PADDR = p.ADDR
2.查看锁和等待
SELECT /*+ rule */
lpad(' ', decode(l.xidusn, 0, 3, 0)) || l.oracle_username User_name,
o.owner,o.object_name,o.object_type,s.sid,s.serial#,p.spid
FROM v$locked_object l, dba_objects o, v$session s, v$process p
WHERE l.object_id = o.object_id
AND l.session_id = s.sid and s.paddr = p.addr
ORDER BY o.object_id, xidusn DESC
附注：
在linux环境可以通过ps查看进程信息包括pid,windows中任务管理器的PID与v$process中pid不能一一对应，这块在oracleDocument中也没有找到介绍，后来google了一下，有资料介绍说是由于windows是多线程服务器,每个进程包含一系列线程。这点于unix等不同，Unix每个Oralce进程独立存在，在Nt上所有线程由Oralce进程衍生。
要在windows中显示oracle相关进程pid，我们可以通过一个简单的sql语句来实现。
SELECT s.SID, p.pid, p.spid signaled, s.osuser, s.program
FROM v$process p, v$session s
WHERE p.addr = s.paddr;
SID PID SIGNALED OSUSER PROGRAM

2 3 2460 SYSTEM ORACLE.EXE
3 4 2472 SYSTEM ORACLE.EXE
4 5 2492 SYSTEM ORACLE.EXE
5 6 2496 SYSTEM ORACLE.EXE

9 13 3420 JSSjunsansi PlSqlDev.exe
13 14 660 JSSjunsansi PlSqlDev.exe
还可以通过和 v$bgprocess 连接查询到后台进程的名字：
SELECT s.SID SID, p.spid threadid, p.program processname, bg.NAME NAME
FROM v$process p, v$session s, v$bgprocess bg
WHERE p.addr = s.paddr
AND p.addr = bg.paddr
AND bg.paddr <> '00';
SID THREADID PROCESSNAME NAME
1 2452 ORACLE.EXE PMON
2 2460 ORACLE.EXE DBW0
3 2472 ORACLE.EXE LGWR
4 2492 ORACLE.EXE CKPT
5 2496 ORACLE.EXE SMON
6 2508 ORACLE.EXE RECO
7 2520 ORACLE.EXE CJQ0
8 2524 ORACLE.EXE QMN0
Eygle大师写了一段sql脚本getsql.sql，用来获取指定pid正在执行的sql语句，在此也附注上来。
REM getsql.sql
REM author eygle
REM 在windows上,已知进程ID,得到当前正在执行的语句
REM 在windows上,进程ID为16进制,需要转换,在UNIX直接为10进制
SELECT /*+ ORDERED */

FROM v$sqltext a
WHERE (a.hash_value, a.address) IN (
SELECT DECODE (sql_hash_value,

),
DECODE (sql_hash_value, 0, prev_sql_addr, sql_address)
FROM v$session b
WHERE b.paddr = (SELECT addr
FROM v$process c
WHERE c.spid = TO_NUMBER ('&pid', 'xxxx')))
