Jared,

Ch 6 of my PL/SQL book extends the alert log external table concept to do 
things like match the
date stamps to the lines that follow it, spit out the SQL when a ora-1555 is 
encountered etc.

You're welcome to poach although an ack might be needed to keep the Apress 
lawyers at bay :-)

Cheers
Connor
