ADDR

RAW(4 | 8)

Address of the process state object

PID

NUMBER

Oracle process identifier

SOSID

VARCHAR2(24)

Operating system (process, thread) identifier.

This identifier is unique whether the Oracle multiprocess/multithread feature is enabled or not.

SPID

VARCHAR2(24)

Operating system process identifier.

The Oracle multiprocess/multithread feature is available for UNIX systems.

When the Oracle multiprocess/multithread feature is enabled, RDBMS processes are mapped to threads running in operating system processes, and the SPID identifier is not unique for RDBMS processes.

When the Oracle multiprocess/multithread feature is not enabled on UNIX systems, the SPID identifier is unique for RDBMS processes.

STID

VARCHAR2(24)

Operating system thread identifier.

The Oracle multiprocess/multithread feature is available for UNIX systems.

When the Oracle multiprocess/multithread feature is enabled, RDBMS processes are mapped to threads running in operating system processes, and the SPID and STID together uniquely identify an RDBMS process.

The STID is not unique on Solaris. The STID is unique on Linux and AIX.

EXECUTION_TYPE

VARCHAR2(10)

Operating system execution type

PNAME

VARCHAR2(5)

PGA_USED_MEM

NUMA_CURR

NUMBER

The NUMA processor group of this process currently

CPU_USED

NUMBER

Tracks the CPU used by this process (in microseconds) from the time it was spawned

The ID of the container to which the data pertains. Possible values include:

• 0: This value is used for rows containing data that pertain to the entire CDB. This value is also used for rows in non-CDBs.

• 1: This value is used for rows containing data that pertain to only the root
