Doh! (mumble something about chickens...hatching...counting...)

Symptoms
Trigger with ORA_SQL_TXT Returns NULL After Upgrade [ID 438324.1]

On database versions 9.2.0.1 to  9.2.0.6 ora_sql_text works and returns the 
calling text for dml triggers, where as starting from 9.2.0.7 the behavior has 
changed and returns NULL. 
Cause
This issue had surfaced from 9.2.0.7.0 patchset. After discussions in Bug 
4171597 which was closed as a duplicate of Bug 4230721 it was concluded that it 
was the expected behavior i.e ORA_SQL_TXT should return null when dml triggers 
are used. 

ORA_SQL_TXT is a "System defined event attribute" and is supposed to work only 
with "System triggers". This is also what the Documentation says - "Application 
Developers Guide : Fundamentals(9.2) 
Chapter 16 Working with System events".

Solution
Expected behavior.


On versions 9.2.0.1 to 9.2.0.6 was the erroneous behavior. The correct behavior 
is what is found starting with version 9.2.0.7 and up.

I believe this will work

Glad those comp.databases.oracle.server archives are found in various places.
