Ethan,

I'm not sure what you mean by SID.

Do you mean an environmental like ORACLE_SID?

On NT, this does not exist unless you create it by issuing 'set oracle_sid=prod'.

Similiar thing on Unix, I think.

Internally (in Oracle), you can check things like v$database, v$instance, even v$thread for the instance that you are connected to but this may not be the SID.

There are also couple of functions called sys.database_name or sys.login_user that return some interesting information.

hope this helps.

I am trying to find an environment variable that returns the current session's SID. I see things like ora_login_user but can't find anything SID related. Basically I want to take a statspack snapshot using the SID of the current session. - E
