Description
oci_set_action(resource $connection, string $action): bool
Sets the action name for Oracle tracing.
The action name is registered with the database when the next 'round-trip' from PHP to the database occurs, typically when an SQL statement is executed.
The action name can subsequently be queried from database administration views such as V$SESSION. It can be used for tracing and monitoring such as with V$SQLAREA and DBMS_MONITOR.SERV_MOD_ACT_STAT_ENABLE.
The value may be retained across persistent connections.
Parameters
connectionConnection
actionUser chosen string up to 32 bytes long.
Return Values
Success
Examples
Setting the action
php
<?php
$c = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');
// Record the action
oci_set_action($c, 'Friend Lookup');
// Code that causes a round-trip, for example a query:
$s = oci_parse($c, 'select * from dual');
oci_execute($s);
oci_fetch_all($s, $res);
sleep(30);
?>output
// While the script is running, the administrator can see the actions
// being performed:
sqlplus system/welcome
SQL> select action from v$session;
