Hi,

We need to pass some application user related info. to the database. All appilcation users connect via same database user. So db connection is of the same schema name , but application users are different. We know of one approach that can help and that is client_identifer. But the problem with client_identifier is that it is limited to 64 characters. Whereas our user_id string has 155 characters(as it is encrypted and we want to pass some other info. concatenated). So this approach is not working due to the limit of 64 bytes.

Can you suggest if there is any way we can manage the requirement? Any suggestions will be very helpful.

Thanks,
Nirav

Record the information in a table and set the client id to a pointer to the row in the table.
For instance the rowid + a serial data that can be a hash value for the information then you can check the original information was not modified.
