And for those of you who got a garbled email the first round, here's my explanation for troubling the list with my document. --- I've been asked to provide a short doc on 10046 tracing for DBAs and developers. So, at the risk of imposing, the text of my first draft is below. I plan on including a copy of Oracle Note 39817.1 as an appendix as well as some sample trace files from various systems. I will also be suggesting that interested parties purchase Cary's book. (I'm not sharing mine with this crowd - it may not come back.) Any suggestions, feedback, etc would be appreciated. I'm the only one here that knows how to do this, and I need to keep it short and simple, but clear to the uninitiated. If any one would prefer that I send the doc directly to them as an attachment, please let me know. Thanks in advance, Robyn On 7/20/05, Robyn <robyn.sands@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Yikes !!!
