Well, there is nothing wrong but there's one thing that puzzles me. The SQL reference manual for 9.2 under USERENV says "SESSIONID returns your auditing session identifier." Therefore I assume it has got the same value as the field V$SESSION.AUDSID. But if I access V$SESSION where AUDSID=userenv('sessionid') then I will possibly get more than one row and again I cannot locate the one I'm interested in. Unless I'm doing something wrong (quite probable) but I cannot see what. Unluckily there's noone who can help me in my team and the oracle manuals are not always that clear.
