How to view log records in Oracle?
To view Oracle’s log records, you can use the following methods:
- Connect to an Oracle database using SQL*Plus.
- Run the following command to view the logging of the current session:
- Choose the username, operating system username, machine, and SQL text from the v$session table where the username is not empty.
- This will display the username, operating system username, machine name, and executed SQL statements for all current active sessions.
- Run the following command to check the error logs of the database:
- Retrieve all information from the view called v$diag_info.
- This will display diagnostic information for the database, including the location and name of error logs.
- Run the following command to view the warning and error logs of the database:
- Retrieve all information from the v$diag_alert_ext view.
- This will display detailed information of warnings and error logs in the database, including date, time, message, and log level.
- Run the following command to view the database’s trace file:
- Retrieve all information from the v$diag_trace_file view.
- This will display the location and name of the database’s trace file.
Please note that you need to have the appropriate permissions to carry out the above command.
