Hi All, We have an after logon trigger on our database. This trigger also gets fired by DBMS_JOBs whenever they run which we don't want. Is there a neat way to prevent this? I was thinking of checking V$SESSION.TYPE within the trigger to detect the BACKGROUND processes but it seems to be null at the time the trigger fires. Another option was to check V$SESSION.PROGRAM but this was getting messy. Any better ideas? Thanks Charlotte PS. Oracle 9.2 __________________________________ Yahoo!
