Thank you,

but I think I am still missing something. First of all I realize now I have not given
any reference to my system that maybe confusing so here we are: WinNT 4
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.1 - Production With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 8.1.7.4.1 - Production

Then to go on I have to admit I am confused: I tried to follow your advice but what I get is,again: SQL> alter system set sql_trace = true scope = spfile; alter system set sql_trace = true scope = spfile

                 *

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02095: specified initialization parameter cannot be modified

Furthermore in the chapter 6 of the Design and Tuning for Performance Oracle
8i Manual I can read:
<snip>
To enable the SQL trace facility for your instance, set the value of the SQL_TRACE
initialization parameter to true. Statistics are collected for all sessions.
Using the SQL Trace Facility and TKPROF
ALTER SYSTEM SET SQL_TRACE = true;
After the SQL trace facility has been enabled for the instance, you can disable it for
the instance by entering:
ALTER SYSTEM SET SQL_TRACE = false;
<snip>

Is there any related parameter is forbidding me to alter this par?

Help I feel a bit stupid.
:)
