If there is always the same osuser, why don't you use a default value. 2. Your proc couldn't work, because Select uid from dual; UID Gives you the USER_ID (number) from all_users. Then you compare OSUSER (char) with UID(number)? This should work: CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST(TST_HIST IN TEST_TBL%ROWTYPE) IS V_UID NUMBER; V_OSUSER BEGIN BEGIN SELECT UID INTO V_UID FROM DUAL; END; BEGIN SELECT USERNAME INTO V_OSUSER FROM ALL_USERS WHERE USER_ID := V_UID; END rest of procedure.....Includes insert etc END TEST HTH Volker Schoen E-Mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.inplan.de -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Denham Eva [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 22.

I am trying to create a procedure that execs from a trigger on a table. Simple enough. But I want to capture the OSUSER value from v$session so that the there is a history of changes to the table and by whom. Problem with using USER function is that all the users access the server via a third party app and therefore have one username. Pretty pointless for this effort then, as I could update the column in the history table with that user and be done with it. But the use of UID also does not work because that brings back a whole list of all the OSUSER value. ie CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST(TST_HIST IN TEST_TBL%ROWTYPE) IS V_UID NUMBER; V_OSUSER BEGIN BEGIN SELECT UID INTO V_UID FROM DUAL; END; BEGIN SELECT OSUSER INTO V_OSUSER FROM V$SESSION WHERE OSUSER := V_UID; END rest of procedure.....Includes insert etc END TEST Now obviously this returns more than one row as all the users use the same username through the app. Any suggestion?
