Re: Identifying logged in users

In article <ec12f506.0206111932.7355075a_at_posting.google.com>, you said (and I quote):

Welcome to shared logins...

You can't. Not unless you go through some very heavy hoops. However, you can isolate the OS processes for these sessions.

Join v$session with v$process via PADDR and ADDR columns and use the SPID column in v$process to get the OS process id. In Unix, this is the PID that shows up in "ps -ef".
