Anne,

I use database triggers to capture system events and send me email. I use the Event Attributes, though I've not captured IP address. My 8.1.7 docs say that you should use ora_client_ip_address, though it looks like that Attribute is only available in an After Logon Event, so you'd need to capture it in a PL/SQL packaged variable or a Global Temporary Table for the duration of the session.

You can find info. on the Event Attributes in Chapter 13, "Working with System Events", in "Oracle8i Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals".

Hope this helps.

I want log changes when a user makes a change to a view, proc, func, package, etc.

Basically, I have a trigger to capture the date, schema name and computer name or IP address. However, I could not get the IP address or host name out of Oracle. Can anyone help?

E.g. Query:

Select sys_context('USERENV','IP_ADDRESS') from v_$session;

Return NOTHING :(

Many thanks
