Oops.. My bad... I thought, like Ian, that they were part of the dbms_session package.I searched the online "Pl/SQL packages and types reference" for the procedures and when I couldn't find them the dba_source table. Many packages have only the body wrapped, not the header, so
select name, type, line, text from dba_source where regexp_instr ( upper(text) , 'SET\_?[^\_\ \=\(]*\_PARAM[^\_\=\(\ ]*\_' ) > 0
will select these functions. Unfortunately the dbms_system header is wrapped and the package is also missing from the reference.. Why oracle wraps informative headers *and* omits the package from the reference is beyond me..

Not sure why you think they have disappeared but I have used dbms_system to set these in 10.2 SQL> exec dbms_system.set_int_param_in_session(34,4175,'sort_area_size',128000);PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.SQL> exec dbms_system.set_bool_param_in_session(34,4175,'timed_statistics',false);PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.Have also raised an ER to get string values set but not sure if this has been done yet Thanks*Fairlie Rego *Senior Oracle Consultant http://el-caro.blogspot.com/ M: +61 402 792 405--- On *Mon, 20/7/09, Tony van Lingen /<tony_vanlingen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>/* wrote:From: Tony van Lingen <tony_vanlingen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Change other users session To: ian.cary@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Oracle-l" <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Received: Monday, 20 July, 2009, 9:55 AM Those handy functions have disappeared in 10gR2 though.. A search through the dba_source table shows that they've not just moved to another package, but dropped completely :( Cheers, Tony Ian Cary wrote:Its a shame you want to change a string value because you can change other types using dbms_session.set_bool_param_in_session and dbms_session.set_int_param_in_session Not much help I know, but may be worth knowing in the future.
