Oracle Trace [message #493683]

Hi,

Currently we are using the trace to check the database performance. The below are the command to activate the trace session:-

SQL> ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';

I want to clear my concepts-- what is "EVENTS 10046" and "context forever"?

Also how can I activate the memory tracing in Oracle?

Please advice.

Thanks-
P

If you don't know what is an event and what it means then don't use it.
The standard way to activate trace is

alter session set sql_trace = true;

or use dbms_session (or dbms_monitor if you are a DBA) package:

exec dbms_session.session_trace_enable (true, true)

Regards
Michel

Thanks for your suggestion.

Still I am very interested what is meant by "'10046 trace name context forever, level 12'.

Is there is any docs form where I can cleadr my concepts or at least any link for the same?

Thanks-
