RE: Tracing sessions - new sql_trace columns in v$session for 10.2

I figured it out.

At first, I had the same disappointing results with the new v$session.sql_trace column in 10.2.0.2 on AIX - as you can see below:

        SQL> execute
dbms_monitor.session_trace_enable(726,147,true,true);

        PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

        SQL> select distinct sql_trace, sql_trace_waits, sql_trace_binds from v$session;

	SQL_TRAC SQL_T SQL_T
	-------- ----- -----
	DISABLED FALSE FALSE

However, after I generated some activity in the traced session, then the ENABLED trace information appeared in v$session:

<In traced session, sid=726>

SQL> select count(*) from t;

  COUNT(*)

         9

<Back in sys session>

SQL> select sid, serial#, sql_trace, sql_trace_waits, sql_trace_binds from v$session where sql_trace = 'ENABLED';

       SID SERIAL# SQL_TRAC SQL_T SQL_T ---------- ---------- -------- ----- -----

       726 147 ENABLED TRUE TRUE Also, according to this article
(http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/10gdba/nanda_10gr2dba_par t3.html#check), the v$session.sql_trace columns are only populated by the dbms_monitor.session_trace_enable procedure - not by sql_trace=true, or event 10046.
