Re: APPNAME in trace

Nelson,

Please note, that in 10g you don't have to call dbms_session.set_module to "register" you module in the database (tracefile). 10g allows you to piggyback module information using "End to End Metrics", for example, in java (this applies to all Oracle Call Interfaces) you can use OracleConnection.setEndToEndMetrics() and Oracle will not send message instantly, but will piggyback this information to next server call (parse/execute/fetch/etc).

Using End to End Metrics you will remove one roundtrip between your application and database server, but in your case, you can remove many roundtrips using this technique.

You probably are aware of this, but I still decided to make a note.
