How to view Oracle database processes?
To view the processes of an Oracle database, you can use one of the following methods:
- Connect to the database using a database client like SQL*Plus or SQL Developer, then execute the following SQL query statement:
- Choose the SID, SERIAL#, PROCESS, and PROGRAM from the V$SESSION table where the TYPE is ‘USER’.
- The above query will provide information about all current user sessions, including session ID (SID), sequence number (SERIAL#), process, and program.
- To view Oracle database processes at the operating system level, you can use the following command:
- On a Windows system, open the Command Prompt window and enter the following command:
tasklist | findstr oracleThis command will list all processes that contain the keyword “oracle”.
- On Linux or UNIX systems, open a terminal window and enter the following command:
ps -ef | grep ora_This command will list all processes that contain the keyword “ora_”.
You can view Oracle database process information using any method.
