When using sqlplus to do the select you are most probably using the privileges
that have been assigned to you in a role. Privileges assigned to
a user through a role are not used (or applied) inside PL/SQL blocks (procedures/functions).
You need to have the appropriate privilege explicitly granted to the user
who is executing the procedure/function. In your case you will need
to explicitly grant select on the v$session view (or base table, sys.v_$session)
to the user account that is executing the procedure.

hi gurus,
I am able to select from every hting from v$session at command line.
but when i write in procedure it fails .... why.
SQL> select osuser from v$session where username = 'IMAGE_INDEX' and
rownum
= 1;
OSUSER
MLOBO
this is ok...
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE n2 IS
tmpVar varchar2(100);
BEGIN
select osuser into tmpvar from v$session where username = 'MLOBO'
and rownum = 1;
dbms_output.put_line ('name '||tmpvar);
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
Null;
WHEN OTHERS THEN
Null;
END n2;
this is failing says sys.V_$session must be declared.
what could be reason ?
