How to Identify All SQLs That are Running Currenly

It is useful to be able to see all SQLs that are running along with how long it has been running, and the number of parallel sessions opened by the session running it etc.
The following script can do the job. Some of the columns are self explanatory. For other columns , a brief explanation is given below:

SQL_OPNAME – type of SQL (Select, Update etc)
SQL_EXEC_START_TM – SQL start time
MINS_RUNNING – how long this SQL has been running
PRLL_SESNS — Number of paralle sessions if the SQL is running in parallel
SQL_CNT – how many sessions running the same SQL
FMS_CNT – how many sessions running SQLs with the same force matching signature(often these are sessions running SQLs w/o binds that only differ in the value provided)
FMS – force matching signature

Script

--
-- sqlnow.sql
-- Parameters - none

-- Purpose: Identify all sqls that are running currenly
-- scripts also list how long it has been running, number of parallel sessions etc

Conclusion

There are a total of eight active sessions running different SQLs when the report was generated. SQL with id 55t1wf74z145c has been running for 3+ hours. There are two sessions running the same SQL. But it is not a parallel query.SQL_CNT and FMS_CNT are the the same probably because bind variables are being used, or it may be exactly same SQLs.
This gives the picture of what each active session is doing currently. You can identify long running and parallel SQLs immediately from this report.
