Hi, Is there a way for me to find out time taken to connect to database once the request to logon comes in. Basically once a valid username/password reaches the machine or if there are delays before that. Especially if there is a way to know from logs (listener) in case of delays. Thank you a lot for your help. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Search presents - Jib Jab's 'Second Term' -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
