Assuming you're on Oracle 8i (you don't say):

select SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','OS_USER') from dual;
I believe this is because the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle executable has an owner of "oracle" and has the sticky bit set on it's security. If you "ls -l $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle", you should see the security on the file as "-rwsr-s--x", with the "s" being the sticky bit. Try a "man chmod" for more info.

HTH! :)

Hi all,

I've got 2 questions here : (Platform : Sun Solaris) :

What is the command in PL/SQL to get unix userID who logged in when I execute PL/SQL script ?
I have created a new user : ABC123, and the primary group is oinstall. When I start oracle instance using ABC123, how come the process still belong to another user (oracle) ?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Thanks & Regards
Herman
