how long does the SQL text stays in the v$sqlarea or dba_hist_sqltext? i had a SQL that was in there but after a couple of hours it was not in there anymore. is there also a query to figure out how long it will stay in there? so far the closes that i can see was to check the v$librarycache but could not figure out from there which/how. please advise. thank you in advance.

It stays until it is aged out due to lack of space in the SGA.

The DBA_HIST% views will show information depending on the AWR retention policy. Default is 8 days. Some DBAs increase this to 30 or 60, I've never heard of anyone reducing it.

That is not right. When you say "no longer there" could it actually be "was never there"? dba_hist_sqltext is not a record of all SQLs, only those that happened to be captured by the AWR snapshots. v$sql is everything - but not for very long.

most of the time I normally looked into the v$sqlarea or v$sql. when they are no longer in one of those I check the dba_hist_sqltext. but looks like it happens fast that even in the dba_hist_sqltext it is not in there also.
