this is how Im planning on handling tracing with connection pooling. You will
need a little help from your middle tier team.
1. create a new user, I call mine 'trace'. Grant trace all the privileges as
the username that your middle uses. Have your middle tier team set up user log
in that logs into the database as this user.
2. Create a logon trigger that enables tracing and captures the full path to
the trace file in a table(the query is on ixora.com.au). In some connection
pooling methods you will get alot of files since they connect and disconnect.
So in that case have a Ksh script read the table, tkprof the output, and
concatenate it together.
Connection pooling is a challenge. I hate the idea of having to guess what the
users are doing. Can't help you with the rest of it.
