Cool idea, Kirti, but wouldn't it be better to filter the results with AND s.audsid = USERENV('SESSIONID')
instead of running thru v$mystat? USERENV is available at least as far back as 8.0.5. Not that it matters greatly for this particular purpose, but I know that code around here tends to multiply.
