Top waits
Displays a list of the events currently being waited on by active sessions.
The meaning of the wait_time and seconds_in_wait columns varies depending on their values follows:
- wait_time - A non-zero value represents the session’s last wait time, while a zero value indicates that the session is currently waiting.
- seconds_in_wait - When the wait_time is zero, the seconds_in_wait value represents the seconds spent in the current wait condition.
When the wait_time is greater than zero, the seconds_in_wait value represents the seconds since the start of the last wait,
and (seconds_in_wait - wait_time / 100) is the active seconds since the last wait ended.

Session wait history
Once a session of interest has been identified, we can display the history of events associated with that session

EXPLAIN PLAN
It should not be necessary to bold the plan_table as it is a global temporary table by default.
To create your own (to keep the plans longer than a session), run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlxplan.sql
Usage
EXPLAIN PLAN [SET STATEMENT_ID = 'statement_id'] [INTO table_name ] FOR sql_statement
See the results
SELECT RTRIM (LPAD (' ', 2 * LEVEL) || RTRIM (operation) || ' ' || RTRIM (options) || ' ' || object_name) query_plan
