Symptoms

 Performance problems are observed within the system. A certain query is taking, on average, 7 minutes to be returned. The DBA has run that query exactly as it came out of Siebel using the bind variables within a script. That script ran in seconds. It appears as though, when running from the system, there is a very large timeframe for gaps with no activity and waited idle time. The amount of time spent at the database level is minimal. .
