Hello Listers,

I have what I hope is challenging problem. I am trying to create a procedure that execs from a trigger on a table. Simple enough.
But I want to capture the OSUSER value from v$session so that the there is a history of changes to the table and by whom. Problem with using USER function is that all the users access the server via a third party app and therefore have one username. Pretty pointless for this effort then, as I could update the column in the history table with that user and be done with it. But the use of UID also does not work because that brings back a whole list of all the OSUSER value.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST(TST_HIST IN TEST_TBL%ROWTYPE) IS
V_UID NUMBER;
V_OSUSER
BEGIN

      
       BEGIN
       SELECT UID 
	INTO V_UID
       FROM DUAL;
       END;

      BEGIN
       SELECT OSUSER
         INTO V_OSUSER
       FROM V$SESSION
       WHERE OSUSER := V_UID;
      END

rest of procedure.....Includes insert etc END TEST Now obviously this returns more than one row as all the users use the same username through the app.
Any suggestion?

Many TIA
