PL/SQL gurus, Here is what I essentially want: I want to throw a tracing procedure in every stored PL/SQL object which writes the input values with name/value pairs that it is called with. Tracing will be turned on or off based on a global parameter. Here is an example of what create or replace procedure proc1 ( input1 in number, input2 in varchar2 ) as begin log_input_values(PKG_UTILITY.DEBUG_LVL); /* actual code comes here */ ---- ..... .... .... end; / based on the value of the PKG_UTILITY.DEBUG_LVL log_input_values will write the following date of execution name of the procedure input values: input1 => value of the input, input2 => value of the input2 I know that I can trace the session with bind values to get the information, but it become a pain in the neck when we have web application using JDBC conneciton pools and i do not know which of the session executes the procedure. Ofcourse Java logging can do this before it makes a call to the procedure, but because of what ever reason at present I can not get them do this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Deen
