Trace level must be 12 to show binds. You can also use dbms_support (install via $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/dbmssupp.sql): Dbms_support.start_trace_in_session(<sid>,<serial>, waits=>true, binds=>true) Or dbms_monitor.session_trace_enable (same parameters) in 10g.

I created the following logon trigger for the user I am concerned with: AFTER LOGON ON DATABASE begin if user like 'SSSQ%' then execute immediate 'alter session set timed_statistics=true'; execute immediate 'alter session set max_dump_file_size=unlimited'; execute immediate 'alter session set events ''10046 trace name context forever, level 8'''; end if; end; Am I missing something obvious? The trace level? Any/all ideas/suggestions much appreciated. thanks, -joe Confidentiality Note: This message contains information that may be confidential and/or privileged.
