Hi - in a 10g Oracle 'Before Insert or Update' trigger is there any
way of find the source of the insert/update...? That is, the name of
any background process, SQL*Plus script or form which may have done
the insert/update..?

If such information isn't lost I'd like to try and use it as a
condition within the trigger but can't see any way of retrieving it.

many thanks, nigel

There are numerous attributes you can retrieve using the SYS_CONTEXT
function.
One of them is MODULE. This is the module you can set using
DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.

Additionally you can use DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO to set ACTION and
DBMS_SESSION's SET_CONTEXT.
