In Oracle 8iR1 (8.1.5)? Not that I know of. In 8.1.7 OS_USER is a known SYS_CONTEXT parameter. With your desupported database (never considered an upgrade?) you're stuck with V$SESSION I'm afraid...

There you go then. We were talking about version 8.1.5 where SYS_CONTEXT was just introduced as a replacement for the old USERENV function. Unfortunately this function didn't offer much more extra until Oracle 8.1.6. As of that version you can use OS_USER as a valid SYS_CONTEXT parameter. You can check the documentation yourself.
