They can come in from various 'machines'. - Kirti

We discussed profiles and resource limits etc. However, the requirement is that the user should a get message that they have exceeded their quota and should not be allowed to log in (there goes the log on trigger). The denial of connection *must* be based on 'OSUSER'. In this environment different OSUSERs use the same Oracle Username for these connections, and the expectation is that the DBA find a solution to enforce some rules. Any tricks? Third party software? Thanks. - Kirti -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Deshpande, Kirti INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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).
