Hi, If anyone is interested Miladin Modrakovic (who wrote the recent oradebug paper) has written a new paper on direct access to the SGA in C. This is extending Kyle Haileys earlier presentation on the same subject. Miladin has presented a Pro*C program that demonstrates access to the SGA by sampling session waits hundreds of times per second and storing the results in an Oracle table for later analysis. The paper gives a good practical example of how to use this technique. The paper can be found at http://www.petefinnigan.com/other.htm - there is also a link there to Kyles earlier presentation. kind regards Pete -- Pete Finnigan email:pete@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web site: http://www.petefinnigan.com - Oracle security audit specialists Book:Oracle security step-by-step Guide - see http://store.sans.org for details. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
