RE: Pl/SQL question

Sonja,

Instance is easy enough. Either grant the person SELECT access to the V_$INSTANCE view under the SYS account, or create another view owned by the DBA that returns the same information.

By schema, do you mean the schema where the procedure exists, or of the person executing the procedure?

If it's the person executing the procedure, you can easily return the USER value (select user from dual). If it's the schema where the procedure exists, then you can (select distinct owner from all_source where name='procedure_name'). Of course, you will need to grant SELECT on ALL_SOURCE to the user where the procedure exists from the sys account for this to work.

hope this helps.

List hi!
Oracle 8.1.7 EE on AIX.
One of our developers wrote a procedure. Inside that procedure he wants to know instance and schema, while executing that procedure. Do you have any suggestions?
TIA,
        Sonja
