Enable trace 10046 in Oracle PL/SQL

SQL> ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 trace name context forever, level 8';

SQL> SQL STATEMENT GOES HERE

SQL> ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 trace name context off';

Tips:

1) Query the generated trace file.

SELECT s.sid,

s.serial#,

pa.value || '/' || LOWER(SYS_CONTEXT('userenv','instance_name')) ||

'_ora_' || p.spid || '.trc' AS trace_file

FROM v$session s,

v$process p,

v$parameter pa

WHERE pa.name = 'user_dump_dest'

AND s.paddr = p.addr

AND s.audsid = SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'SESSIONID');

2） Include your preference in the trace file name (more easily identified)

ALTER SESSION SET TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER = "MY_TEST_SESSION";

3) Analysis the trace file by using "tkprof" or "Trace Analyzer".
