Re: Unix account from PL/SQL ??

You must login as sys and

  grant select on v_$session to <<PACKAGE_OWNER>>;

Please take a look at www.orafaq.com as it will answer all of the questions you've asked.

Hi jesse,

For no 1, Thanks a million, it works fine

For no 2, yes, I saw the sticky bit in the oracle file.

                is it advisable for us to change the oracle file permission
/ to turn off the sticky bit ?
               Would it affect oracle internally ?

Thanks for Sunny too,
I'm also still curious why I can't access v$session from the package , any idea ?

Regards
