You may turn the trace on or off that way, but how do you interrogate it to find its event settings?

ORADEBUG SETORAPID, would make "current session" whatever you like, no?

>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.
