RE: how to tell who the caller of a procedure is

Ox,

Is the caller always the same Oracle user? If so, you can use dbms_application_info.set_action('INSERTING'); package in the calling procudure and then interrogate the context. But it would be easier to simply pass in the caller id.

Subject: how to tell who the caller of a procedure is

Oracle ver 10.2.0.3.0

I have a procedure which is called from one of four functions. Other than simply passing the name in as a varchar is there a way to have the procedure known the name. In my procedure I have one of four things to do based on who the calling function is.

Thanks
Ox
