Re: starting/stopping trace in session

The behaviour may be o/s dependent,
and Oracle version dependent.

One way of dealing with the problem:

    alter session set tracefile_identifier = 'somthing' closes the current trace file and opens a new one with 'something' in the file name. So every time you want to restart, you can just do the same again with a new 'something'.

This also makes it easier to find the right trace file, of course
