Hi Mladen, Sorry to have taken so long to reply. Have been busy at work. Yes, query works like a charm. You've come through with the goods once again. Thanks! How did u find out about it? I trolled all day through metalink with different subjects along the lines of "event" and it came up with nothing.

SQL> @read_events Event 10046 set at level 10 PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. This, of course, reads events for the current session, but if events are set on a database level, that means that they're set for each session. Needless to say, you need to be able to execute sys.dbms_system, which means the DBA role. ---------------------------------------------------------- Leng Kaing Email: leng.kaing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Phone: +61-3-9203-7589 Mobile: +61-417-371-348 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
