You can set an after login database trigger and activate low level tracing if needed.

The trace files can get very big and you don't want to do this for many sessions probably.

Google around for things like "oracle database login trigger" and/or "10046 trace" ... proceed cautiously and test out everything in a test environment before even thinking about possibly doing this in a live prod environment.

Have you talked to your DBA's about the information that you need? Received on Wed Mar 03 2010 - 10:25:59 CST
