Hello list members. A colleague of 
mine has written a small Windows client utility that allows you to view the 
SQL statements being issued by another client application. The utility has 
to be running on the same machine as the other client 
application.
I use it myself pretty often instead of turning on tracing a 
session. 
His description says: - Displays SQL 
statements that come from processes in real-time, eliminating the necessity 
to turn on tracing and look into poorly formatted trace file 
- Allows monitoring NT services - 
Displays logon attempts, both successful and unsuccessful (username, 
password, tns alias, success) - Performs syntax 
highlighting - Displays values of bind variables for 
SQL statements - Shows even statements that fail to 
execute. Displays Oracle error code and message for those statements. 
- Allows to copy and paste statements from the 
output to one of your SQL analyzing tools (TOAD, SQL Navigator, or even 
SQL*Plus) 
- Monitors applications like Import/Export, SQLoader, Server 
Manager (svrmgrl.exe), as well as applications written with Oracle Forms or 
Pro*C 
- Supports Oracle clients starting with version 7.3 
- It's FREE! 
He has told me that I can publicize it on the list. All he 
asks is some feedback / bug reports. Here's the

P.S. You should send the feedback to him and not to

Hello Banarasi,

I'm Sergey Ten, the one that wrote the tool Jacques is referring to.

Thanks for the feedback. I'd also like to see some functionality like
that, but Quest Software already has SQLab that does it (means I'd
have to compete against my own employer). Besides, my tool does not
establish a connection to Oracle, which allows it to monitor multiple
processes, and establishing connection and dealing with plain table is
necessary for that kind of features.

Glad to hear you like the tool!

ODBC is just another layer on top of Oracle client - eventually it
will call OCI functions. So does OO4O, I believe. So I don't see why
not. Let me know if you have problems.

Nice tool but the major draw back that I find it it only monitors the
applications you kick off. It would be nice if it would monitor like the
TOAD monitor does. I like the fact that it scrolls the previous command
and you can look back and see what happens that you did not know or
understand. This tool showed the source of a strange command as a
command generated by the VB ADO as discussed in another message.
 You Guys are right on with the correct answers.
