Is there any way to tell what connect string an application is using to connect to the database? I want to rename a host but I know some developers are going to forget to change their connect strings and I would like to catch them before we rename the box.

My plan is to:

o create a new cname for the host

o create a new tnsalias based on the cname

o Have developers reconnect using the new tnsalias

o Monitor for any connections that still use the old connect string, and   tell developers they still need to change their connect string.

o Monitor again

o Rename box

o Have all applications connecting using the new name.
