Identify the connected program to an Oracle databaseTag(s): JDBC


The v$session view contains session information for each current session.

When connecting with ODBC or OCI, the program column will contain the executable name used to make the connection. If the connection is made with the Thin Driver,the program is "JDBC Thin Client" (by default). The good news is that this information can be customized at the connect time to provide a more interesting name (maximum length = 64 characters).
