Hello.

I'm creating an SQL Loader control file which is registered and run under Oracle Apps 11i.

I was wondering if there's a way to get the username or user_id of the logged in user and insert that information to the target table?

I have included 2 columns for the target table

creation_date
created_by

filling up creation_date is easy with the SYSDATE keyword

but what about created_by? is USERNAME the answer?

Thanks in advance.

SQL> select user from dual;
USER

MICHEL

1 row selected.

The USER built-in function is there to give you your name. Smile

I could not understand this reply. I just wanted to mention the alternative way to get user...

Another is 

SQL> show user;
USER is "SYS"

The question was about SQL*Loader.
You can't execute your SQL query in SQL*Loader.
You can't exexute "show user" which is a SQL*Plus command in SQL*Loader.

Assign "FND_GLOBAL.user_name" to the variable created_by. This will give the name of the user who will submit the SQL Loader request.
