SQL*Net message from client

Short Description

The server process (foreground process) waits for a message from the client process to arrive.

Detailed Description​

Usually the SQL*Net message from client event is an idle event where the database is waiting to be asked to do something.

How to reduce this wait​

This wait event is not usually indicative of an issue, as it can just be a user session waiting for someone to type the next command, but if the wait time increases rapidly, it can be a sign of connections being opened and not being closed/terminated in a timely fashion.
