(oracle 10.2) Access to v$session from pl/sql code

Hello,
I wonder if anybody can help me with the following problem as I have read some previous posts on similar topics but could not come to a solution so far.
The problem is simple: I need to select some columns form v$session from within a PL/SQL body in oracle 10.2.
Now, the "Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals" reads:
"The owner of the procedure or package must be explicitly granted
the necessary object privileges for all objects referenced within the
body of the code."
However, if I connect sys as sysdba and run "grant select on v$session to <proc owner>" I will get "ORA-02030: can only select from fixed tables/views".
Any hint about this?
Thank you in advance.

There is nothing wrong with your instance, v$session is a public synonym for the "real" view v_$session. You cannot grant on a synonym, only on the underlying real object.
HTH

    User entered a value in field1, then navigate to field2, and click a button for list of values,
    when he clicks the button, internaly it is opening a cursor, where i want to pass field1's value to my cursor as a parameter. So in my pls/sql code , i want to access the value of field1. If you know, please help.
    see the snippet of code.
    htp.p('
    function f1()
    if (parseInt(learnIdx) ==1 )
    for i in dev_Need('1')/*here i want to pass html form element value as a parameter */

    end loop;
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Here's my suggestion
    If you wanna access the dll check out "external procedures", you can search it everywhere in OTN.
    However it's easier to use Heterogenous Services to connect database with other sources.
    Check out http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:13454621522426176943::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:4406709207206,

  • Access a web service from pl/sql

    I am trying to access a web service from pl/sql. I have downloaded the code from
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/webservices/htdocs/samples/dbwebservice/DBWebServices_PLSQL.html
    But when I try to execute the sql, I am getting the following error:

    No errors.

    It is failing at:

    But in the examples that I got from downloading source code, site used was:
    'http://www.alethea.net/webservices/LocalTime.asmx',
    'http://www.alethea.net/webservices/LocalTimeByZipCode');
    This site was not accessible. So I changed to the working site as follows, but still I
    am getting the above error.
    But I can access this site, if I type in the above address in the address bar of IE.
    Can any body help?
    I have oracle9i client installed on my machine and able to connect to server thru toad and sql plus.
    or IF any body refers me to a good website for the topic of "using webservies from pl/sql" that would be great too!

  • Access odbc data sources from PL/SQL

    Dear All,
    I would like to know is there any way where i could access odbc data sources from pl/sql (i.e i would like to insert, update records into MSAccess table from pl/sql procedures, triggers). Would appreciate any help regarding this.

    The only way I know of how is to write and external function library and use that to access ODBC datasource ...if someone else knows something else I would be interesting in hearing about that also.

  • Accessing the browser session from a Web Start application.

    I am redeploying my applets as applications (JFrame) in the Web Start architecture. Is there a way for these applications to access the browser session that they were opened from? This was provided for me when I was opening my applets in a browser popup window (window.open()).

    To access the session, pass the session id in the jnlp file (this is assuming your jnlp file is generated dynamically by a servlet).
    Create another servlet to return whatever objects you want from the server session (call this servlet RetObject, lets say).
    When you access RetObject using a URLConnection, append ;jsessionid=<sessionid> to the servlet url
    e.g.,
    http://server/RetObject;jsessionid=hjh232323232jhkjh
    (for websphere, this variable may be csessionid. jsessionid works on weblogic and on tomcat).
    Use ObjectInputStream to receive objects from the servlet.

  • How to delete last user session from backend SQL query?

    Sometimes user session gets closed between some work by any reason.
    When next time that user logs to P6, he gets some error or particular functionaly dosen't work for that user or system hangs.
    In that case if i decided to clear last session history of that user from database, how to write SQL query?
    I don't want to delete all user sessions from table USESSION and USESSAUD, i simply want to delete last user session of particular user (E.g XYZ).

    I am quoting this from MOS Doc Id "Why would multiple session records be present in the User Sessions screen in P6 Web, and why might some of them have different IP addresses? (Doc ID 1600172.1)"
    Multiple sessions show up for users since different sections of P6 Web have their own sessions associated with them. If a user is authorized to use multiple areas of the software they will have multiple sessions each time they log in. Additionally, if users are closing their browsers before logging out of P6 Web Access you might see some past sessions still appearing in the list. These will eventually be cleared out by background jobs, however you can also reset the sessions in the software by clicking the "Reset User" link (Administer > User Sessions > Manage User Sessions), or by choosing the "Reset All Users" link (Administer > User Sessions > Manage User Sessions) to do this for all past sessions.
    Multiple IP addresses for sessions can happen when a user logs in from different machines. For example, a person may login at their desk, but then go to a colleagues workstation to discuss a project, and log in from there. Doing so will leave them with multiple IP addresses in the session records.
    Hope this helps

  • Accessing Excel cell value from PL/SQL

    I Would like to part my question into 2 sections. Both are related to PL/SQL
    (Version 8.x or 9.x) COM automation
    A). I have a spreadsheet with some values in the following cell address
    File Name : Employee.xls
    Worksheet Name : Emp_Detail (There are other spreadsheets)
    Cell Address
    Employee id : C50
    Name : Z10
    Address : X10
    I will have to grab the follwing cell values and insert into the staging table
    usinf PL/SQL. I have read some of your article realting to OWS package which
    retieves the whole excel spread sheet.
    B). I have a Activex control developed in VB6.0 and registered. Inside the dll there is a class
    AccessXLS.cls, which uses the objects/functions relating
    to the Excel spreadsheet.
    I would like to know is there any COM automation method
    to activate the dll from my PL/SQL.
    Awaiting for your reply

    Hi,
    Here's my suggestion
    If you wanna access the dll check out "external procedures", you can search it everywhere in OTN.
    However it's easier to use Heterogenous Services to connect database with other sources.

    you can use something like:

  • Urgent: ORA-04030 from PL/SQL code

    Hi, we are running a data conversion program for Oracle Applications which works in the following logic
    1. There is a loader program which uses SQLLoader to load 6.6L records from flat files to custom staging table
    2. There is a Validation program which validates (for business requirements) records available in the custom staging table. Based on the validation results the program updates the Status field (a column of the table) to ERROR or SUCCESS. This program uses pl/sql table types with bulk insert and bulk update. While we run the program for less number of records it works fine, but when the volume of data is high (6.6L) we get the following exception:
    ORA-04030 (out of process memory when trying to allocate ... bytes).
    As an work around we have used "dbms_session.free_unused_user_memory;" statement after every plsql table.DELETE call. But still we get the issue. Can anyone suggest us whats going wrong? If we use of Global Temp Table in place of pl/sql table will it help?
    Thanks /Santanu
