RE: How to derive the process ID of its own session?

Note if the complete query that errored with ORA-01427 was something like
select paddr from v$session
where sid = (select sid from v$mystat where rownum = 1)
It can be fixed by adding
and rownum =1
as the third line
Normally, if dedicated sessions are used, only one session will exist for a specific process however Oracle will use a second session to run recursive SQL so you can sometimes get two sessions for a background process.

Thank you very much, it worked!!
Just FYI, I tried this way, it worked on 10gR2 (Linux), but gave error on 9iR2 (HP-UX):
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production With
the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options JServer Release
9.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL> @getspid1
(select paddr from v$session *
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
SQL> !cat getspid1.sql
select spid from v$process
where addr=
(select paddr from v$session where audsid = userenv( 'sessionid' )) ;
I suspect most probably a bug which I did not patch. Just to share, don't have to reply :-).
