Hi George,

You need to search for end to end metrics in Oracle docs. The API is there
for PL/SQL, OCI, JDBC and ODP.NET.

The Java example I normally use during my training and demos is this (see
the bold section which binds end to end metrics to a connection:

------------------

// java -cp $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/ojdbc5.jar:. Client_id

import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection;

public class Client_id {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

        try {
            // get connection and statement
            DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:LIN11G", "system","oracle");
            Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

            // set metrics for connection (will be sent to server the next
rountrip)
            String[] metrics = new
String[OracleConnection.END_TO_END_STATE_INDEX_MAX];
            metrics[OracleConnection.END_TO_END_CLIENTID_INDEX]="Tanel
Poder:123";
*            ((OracleConnection)conn).setEndToEndMetrics(metrics,(short)0);
*
            // run your SQL code. the client identifier attribute is bundled
with this roundtrip and automatically sent to server with this request
            ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT sid, username,
client_identifier FROM v$session WHERE type='USER' AND status='ACTIVE'");

            // print output from v$session. here you should see this java
program's session with client identifier set
            System.out.printf("\n%4s %20s %30s\n", new Object[] {"SID",
"USERNAME", "CLIENT_IDENTIFIER"});

System.out.println("--------------------------------------------------------");
            while (rs.next()) {
                System.out.printf("%4s %20s %30s\n", new Object[]
{Integer.toString(rs.getInt("sid")), rs.getString("username"),
rs.getString("client_identifier")} );
            }

            Thread.sleep(10000);
        }
            catch (SQLException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

---------------------

In PL/SQL you can use just dbms_session.set_identifier('xyz') and
dbms_session.clear_identifier
