Oracle SQL*Net Release 2.3 Events



This appendix describes events that have been instrumented in Oracle SQL*Net release 2.3. The events are useful largely for debugging purposes.

Table B-1 lists the Oracle SQL*Net events instrumented for Oracle Trace. For more detailed descriptions, refer to the section for the event in which you are interested.

Specific kinds of information, known as items, are associated with each event. Oracle Trace has a standard set of items, called Resource Utilization items, that it collects by default for any instrumented application, including SQL*Net.

The standard Resource Utilization items are described in Table B-2. Items specific to SQL*Net release 2.3 are described in Table B-3.

Items Associated with Each Event

The following sections describe each event in more detail and provide tables that list the items associated with each event. For item descriptions, refer back to Table B-3.

User, Admin, Dev, Error, and Fatal Events

The User, Admin, Dev, Error, and Fatal events are comparable to the events of the same names that SQL*Net tracing collected in previous releases. For each event, the function name and location within the code where the event took place is identified. The rest of the information collected about each event is similar but at different levels of granularity, depending on the parameters entered for the Message item.
