RE: using system event triggers

Agree we need to know the actual business problem being solved But as a suggestion for the question asked, & I haven't tried this and probably don't recommend it:

Could you use execute immediate to use alter system to kill off the sys sessions - this would probably kill the DB But then again maybe Oracle won't let you kill them

Or use a Java procedure to fire off an OS command to close the database

Hi Tom,

That would be easy to fix, just set the init.ora parameter _system_trig_enabled=false and start the instance using this init.ora.

But yes I agree with your sentiments, what is he trying to achieve.

cheers
