Oradebug

From Oracle FAQ
Jump to: navigation, search

Oradebug is a command that can be executed from SQL*Plus (or Svrmgrl in Oracle 8i and lower releases) to display or dump diagnostics information.

Execute the "ORADEBUG HELP" command to obtain a list of valid ORADEBUG commands.

It looks like one can change memory locations with the ORADEBUG POKE command. Anyone brave enough to test this one for us?
