Re: get sid (session id) and serial#?

MessageOracle _officialy_doesn't support it even now. It is included in the sources with a caveat that it will be installed only under instructions from the Support Analysts only. That is why the package is not installed as a part of a normal installation.

Think of it this way - even if it was not included "by mistake" in 8.1.5, there were two releases of 8i after that, 8.1.6 and 8.1.7, not to mention several patchkits. The mistake could have been easily fixed by including the source. However, that was not done. Similarly, if it was a mistake, Oracle support should have been more than happy to send out the source upon request; but they weren't.

  Hi,
  It is my understanding that Oracle do support the dbms_support package and that it should have been in the 8i distribution, but was missed out by mistake. It's calls to sys.dbms_system.set_ev they do not supoprt since this enables you to set any debug event in the kernel.

  Regards

    Oracle officially "desupported" the package in 8i; but then included (by mistake?) in 9i. In 8i, however, you could pester your friendly neuighborhood Support Analyst to give you the package. You could try from 9i sources, too; but not sure if they work.
