select user from sys.dual running 2 million times
                     
Hi, We are having a problem where there is 
contention for the sys.dual table. On running the statspack reports we have 
found that the select user from sys.dual is running 2 million times an hour. We 
have tracked this down to the USER function within the SYS.STANDARD package, 
but we don't know why this is being called so many times. We are using ODP.NET 
11.2 for client connections from the application server. Thanks for any help.
