Warning, the program column of v$session is often not populated depending on the version of the Oracle client in use.

ddc1 > select count(*) from v$session
  2 where username is not null and program is null   3 /

  COUNT(*)


       159

So depending on what this is desired for, what kind of clients are in use, and the database and client versions the target data may not be available to begin with.
