st, and tidy up after itself. I'm sure you know how to do all that. Having said all this, it will work, but for large files, it'll probably be pretty slow. Hope this helps, Steve -----Original Message----- From: Mark Wagner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 23 March 2001 8:47 AM T

Mark, Is this really necessary ? All you can find in the controlfile tracefile, you can also find in the V$ views, and much easier : everything (and much more) is there neatly organized and you can use simple SQL statements. Check the "Server Reference" for more information. Brgds, Mark Mark

Mark, If you use the PL/SQL utl_file package, this runs on the server, regardless of where it is executed from, so can read the trace file. Furthermore, it is executed as an 'oracle' owned process, so has the appropriate permissions. Let me know if you need any more help. Cheers, Steve -
