C.1.2 About the V$CELL_ Views

The views prefixed with V$CELL_ contain internal statistical information, which is used by Oracle Support Services.

This includes the following views:

• V$CELL_CONFIG
• V$CELL_CONFIG_INFO
• V$CELL_THREAD_HISTORY
• V$CELL_DB
• V$CELL_DISK
• V$CELL_DISK_HISTORY
• V$CELL_GLOBAL
• V$CELL_GLOBAL_HISTORY
• V$CELL_IOREASON
• V$CELL_IOREASON_NAME
• V$CELL_METRIC_DESC
• V$CELL_REQUEST_TOTALS
• V$CELL_STATE
• V$CELL_THREAD_HISTORY
• V$CELL_OFL_THREAD_HISTORY
• V$CELL_OPEN_ALERTS

These views contain instantaneous statistical information that may be easily misinterpreted or incomplete when viewed in isolation. Instead, use the corresponding Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) views, which are prefixed with DBA_HIST_CELL_. Or, use the AWR report.
