I'm not quite sure what I'm missing here. I created a logon trigger, did some debugging and I confirmed that it does indeed fire. The problem seems to be with RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR. This trigger is supposed to prevent certain connections from occuring. Instead, a trace file is generated with the following: Skipped error 604 during the execution of JMH.ON_LOGON *** 2005-03-02 09:19:41.326 ksedmp: internal or fatal error ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-20001: You are not allowed to login ORA-06512: at line 8 Now, from what I can see, this behavior is expected if the user has ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER or ALTER ANY TRIGGER (Note 265012.1). I think this also happens if you have certain roles (this user does not have any special roles).=20 So I'm trying to figure out why the error is skipped and login is allowed. Here is my trigger: CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER on_logon AFTER LOGON ON jmh.schema declare hname varchar2(50); BEGIN select sys_context('userenv','host') into hname from dual; IF upper(hname) like '%TESTBOX%' THEN RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001, 'You are not allowed to login'); END IF; END; / Any help would be appreciated.
