SYS_CONTEXT

USERENV is an Oracle provided namespace that describes the current session.

Syntax

SELECT sys_context('', '', );
FROM dual;

Identifies the position in the module (application name) and is set through the DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO package or OCI.

SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'ACTION') FROM dual;

exec dbms_application_info.set_action('INSERTING');

SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'ACTION') FROM dual;

1. AUDITED_CURSORID
--------------------

Returns the cursor ID of the SQL that triggered the audit. This parameter is not valid in a fine-grained auditing environment. If you specify it in such an environment, Oracle Database always returns NULL.

2. AUTHENTICATED_IDENTITY
-------------------------

Returns the identity used in authentication. In the list that follows, the type of user is followed by the value returned:
Kerberos-authenticated enterprise user: kerberos principal name
Kerberos-authenticated external user : kerberos principal name; same as the schema name
SSL-authenticated enterprise user: the DN in the user's PKI certificate
SSL-authenticated external user: the DN in the user's PKI certificate
Password-authenticated enterprise user: nickname; same as the login name
Password-authenticated database user: the database username; same as the schema name
OS-authenticated external user: the external operating system user name
Radius/DCE-authenticated external user: the schema name
Proxy with DN : Oracle Internet Directory DN of the client
Proxy with certificate: certificate DN of the client
Proxy with username: database user name if client is a local database user; nickname if client is an enterprise user
SYSDBA/SYSOPER using Password File: login name
SYSDBA/SYSOPER using OS authentication: operating system user name

3. AUTHENTICATION_DATA
----------------------
Data being used to authenticate the login user. For X.503 certificate authenticated sessions, this field returns the context of the certificate in HEX2 format.

Note: You can change the return value of the AUTHENTICATION_DATA attribute using the length parameter of the syntax. Values of up to 4000 are accepted. This is the only attribute of USERENV for which Oracle implements such a change.

4.AUTHENTICATION_METHOD
----------------------

Returns the method of authentication. In the list that follows, the type of user is followed by the method returned.
Password-authenticated enterprise user, local database user, or SYSDBA/SYSOPER using Password File; proxy with username using password: PASSWORD
Kerberos-authenticated enterprise or external user: KERBEROS
SSL-authenticated enterprise or external user: SSL
Radius-authenticated external user: RADIUS
OS-authenticated external user or SYSDBA/SYSOPER: OS
DCE-authenticated external user: DCE
Proxy with certificate, DN, or username without using password: NONE

5.BG_JOB_ID
------------

6. CLIENT_IDENTIFIER
----------------------
Returns an identifier that is set by the application through the DBMS_SESSION.SET_IDENTIFIER procedure, the OCI attribute OCI_ATTR_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER, or the Java class Oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection.setClientIdentifier. This attribute is used by various database components to identify lightweight application users who authenticate as the same user.
SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'CLIENT_IDENTIFIER') FROM dual;

exec dbms_session.set_identifier(USER || ' ' || SYSTIMESTAMP);

SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'CLIENT_IDENTIFIER') FROM dual;

7. CLIENT_INFO
--------------
Returns user session information that can be stored by an application using the DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO package.

SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'CURRENT_EDITION_NAME') FROM dual;

11. CURRENT_SCHEMA
-------------

CURRENT_SQLn attributes return subsequent 4K-byte increments, where n can be an integer from 1 to 7, inclusive. CURRENT_SQL1 returns bytes 4K to 8K; CURRENT_SQL2 returns bytes 8K to 12K, and so forth. You can specify these attributes only inside the event handler for the fine-grained auditing feature.

15. CURRENT_SQL_LENGTH
----------------------
The length of the current SQL statement that triggers fine-grained audit or row-level security (RLS) policy functions or event handlers. Valid only inside the function or event handler.

20. ENTERPRISE_IDENTITY
--------------------
Returns the user's enterprise-wide identity:
For enterprise users: the Oracle Internet Directory DN.
For external users: the external identity (Kerberos principal name, Radius and DCE schema names, OS user name, Certificate DN).
For local users and SYSDBA/SYSOPER logins: NULL.
The value of the attribute differs by proxy method:
For a proxy with DN: the Oracle Internet Directory DN of the client
For a proxy with certificate: the certificate DN of the client for external users; the Oracle Internet Directory DN for global users
For a proxy with username: the Oracle Internet Directory DN if the client is an enterprise users; NULL if the client is a local database user.
