RE: init.ora parameter to log errors to the alert log

Also, I think Brandon answered your question, but on a related note, 
dbms_system.ksdwrt can be used to write to the alert log or trace file, 
explicitly.  It, along with some other alert log writing functionality, is 
documented here:

Subject: init.ora parameter to log errors to the alert log

List,

Years ago I found a tip, you could add an entry in the init.ora file for a 
specific Oracle error that wouldn't normally get logged. Then when a user 
session encountered that error, the error would get logged in the alert log. 
Does anyone recall that?

Thanks,
Dennis Williams
