Well, but it doesn't show database connection(s) only, it also shows what
actions are currently performed through the various connections on the
databases and state information about them. I'm not a native english speaker,
but i have the feeling that "sessions" is better suited for this kind of
interactive monitoring. I believe Oracle also has a v$session view to query
various information about what's going on.
