7.22 onstat -u flags

Well, I finally moved my production db to 7.22 from 5.03. After (finally) remembering to do an UPDATE STATISTICS and tuning the parameters, things seem OK, but a bit slower than ver 5.. My question: the onstat -u output has a "Y" in the first slot of the flags column for _all_ my client processes almost all the time. The doc just says that a "Y" means that the process is waiting on a condition. What condition???? Does it mean waiting in the sense that it is being held up by something, or waiting in the sense that it is idle and has nothing to do?? It is normal to see all these all these "Y"'s in the first flag slot?? Or should this slot be empty most of the time?? Any help appreciated. A perplexed DBA Please reply to allenj@ndr.com
