Waleed, I did not because what would I attempt to do? There is no "disconnect" or "logoff" command within PL/SQL. Even if I raised the exception, the user would get the exception message and be left at the SQL> prompt.
This is why I am asking Sam if he found another method to prevent the connection from continuing. Maybe there is something new that I am not aware of (it would not be the first time).

Certainly, the LOGON trigger can track who connects with what tool. I am doing the same thing with my web application - tracking connections and sending me a report every day of all connections. But I have not found a way to prevent the connection - there is no way that I've found to disconnect someone with the LOGON trigger. Am I missing something - did you figure this out? Please share! Thanks Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -----Original Message----- Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 11:40 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L You can create a LOGON Trigger to stop users using anything i.e. SQLPLUS ,MSACCESS etc... I have applied one at our site and works good. I even log people who try to log in and get them to explain to management their motives. That is a good deterrent. The trigger can be written so that only selective users can have access if need be.
