RE: how to tell who the caller of a procedure is

Ox,

Is the caller always the same Oracle user?
If so, you can use dbms_application_info.set_action('INSERTING');
package in the calling procudure and then interrogate the context.  But
it would be easier to simply pass in the caller id.

Subject: how to tell who the caller of a procedure is

Oracle ver 10.2.0.3.0

I have a procedure which is called from one of four functions. Other
than simply passing the name in as a varchar is there a way to have the
procedure known the name. In my procedure I have one of four things to
do based on who the calling function is.

Thanks
Ox
