Hello Gurus,

I would like to try and build in some security onto a certain schemas tables, using for instance from system, I can do a select from v$session to obtain program name etc. ie,

SELECT PROGRAM FROM V$SESSION;

An extention of this a user "with the rights" can do :-
SELECT PROGRAM FROM V$SESSION
WHERE SID IN (SELECT SID FROM V$MYSTAT);

I really don't want to give all the users these rights.

Is there any query that a normal user can run which returns the same information as the above? ie program name.
Using auditing is a rather impractical option, as the growth would be huge, the idea is to capture only the changes and users that update/insert/delete using undesignated software ie MS Access.
