hi everybody
my name is Baptiste, I'm a french student and I'm interested about Oracle Technologies.
Now, I have a problem.
I want to create a trigger, and when a user logon, "SET SERVEROUTPUT ON" command must be activate.
So how can I do that?
I have made some search about the dbms_output package, but I don't found anything intersting for my request.
Is anyone can help me ?
Thanks!

Forgive me, but this makes NO sense.

>"SET SERVEROUTPUT ON"
Above is a SQL*Plus command; which does not come into play inside a trigger.

A trigger runs deep inside the database engine & has no direct way to "talk" to the user invoking the trigger.

Perhaps LOGIN.SQL (or even GLOGIN.SQL) is what you are looking for. This file will let you set some initial settings.

Scuse me...
In fact, I use iSQLplus, and when I build a PL/SQL request with
"dbms_output.put_line", I'm oblige to add: set serveroutput ON.
Now, I want that this command "set serveroutput on" will be automaticaly made when an user log on.
So, I must to use a trigger.
does it make any sense?

batitou81,

You don't say from where, how, or what the "user" actually does to initiate the logon trigger.

How or why do you expect this user to be able to see the results of the DBMS_OUTPUT in any case?

Another way of asking the same question is how will Oracle know where to "pop the output string" so that it is visible to every user logging into the database?

Have A Nice Day (HAND)!

I want to use a trigger because sometimes, I forget to do " set serveroutput on", so with this trigger, don't worry about that.
My trigger looks like that:
CREATE TRIGGER log_on
AFTER LOGON
"My command to the dbms_output package"
...

Do you know what I mean ?
