DBMS_SYSTEM.read_ev can you tell you if the current session is tracing or not, but it can not interrogate other sessions. The only way I know is to check the trace files generated in the udump directory.. but it is not fool-proof. And since you can not find out who is tracing at the moment, you can not stop it.. Ross, I sure would like to learn the trick. Can you please post it?? :) Thanks. - Kirti -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Deshpande, Kirti INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Mohan, Ross INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
