Hi Mike,

assuming it was a rhetorical question, here's a valid answer anyway :

	DBMS_PROFILE

and it's not because MS sucks - which it does, in places - but because
developers don't always get it right - I know, I am/was/could be a
developer (in a past life or two anyway !)

:o)


Cheers,
Norman.

<SNIP>

I could say something like, "Gee, SQL Server has a pretty nifty
Profiler built into it.  Does Oracle have any equivalent..."   

What I'd get back would be something like "Yeah, well that's because
they feel so bad that they stuck you such a lousy piece of @#$ DBMS,
they feel guilty..."  This is followed by a barrage of MSSQL sucks,
long live Larry!.  It's like a Rush Limbaugh show, sometimes <g>.
