>From what I know, there is no way to find if a session has turned on the tracing unless it is your own session. DBMS_SYSTEM.read_ev can you tell you if the current session is tracing or not, but it can not interrogate other sessions.

The only way I know is to check the trace files generated in the udump directory.. but it is not fool-proof.

And since you can not find out who is tracing at the moment, you can not stop it..

Ross, I sure would like to learn the trick. Can you please post it?? :)

Thanks.

Kirti

iteratively loop thru ORADEBUG asking sid/serial# if they have events set, as i recall.

Hi all,

How do I find out if someone is running trace on oracle database and how do I turn trace off?

Thanks,
David
