Jared,

Ch 6 of my PL/SQL book extends the alert log external table concept to do things like match the date stamps to the lines that follow it, spit out the SQL when a ora-1555 is encountered etc.

You're welcome to poach although an ack might be needed to keep the Apress lawyers at bay :-)

Cheers
Connor
