Question

Is it possible to have Outputs from PL/SQL in real time? I have a pretty huge package that runs for more than an hour and I’d like to see where the package is at a particular time.

Anyways, I currently do this with a log table, which gets filled up with hundreds of log descriptions per run, I’m just curious if this is possible.

Thanks!

I don’t know if this is exactly what you want but I use dbms_application_info.set_module to see where my package is.

dbms_application_info.set_module(module_name => 'Conversion job',
                                 action_name => 'updating table_x'); 

A query on v$session will show you which part of the procedure is running.
