Question

In Oracle 11g, I tried to trace a session, but failed. The tool is SQL Developer. I don’t have permissions ? but I can query v$session.

Thanks

BEGIN
  DBMS_MONITOR.SESSION_TRACE_ENABLE(session_id=>72, 
                                         serial_num=>36449, 
                                         waits=>TRUE, 
                                         binds=>TRUE);
END;

You don’t have the execute privilege for the dbms_monitor package.

Ask your DBA to run

GRANT execute ON dbms_monitor TO your_username;
