Thread: Find IP Address of connected Client

hi

suppose one client machine is connected to my oracle server, and after perform 1,2 transactions he is disconnected. how to find his IP address?


If we want to monitor upcoming connection's IP's( Now onwards) , that is ok, we can store that IP into a table by using a trigger. But how to find the IP, which is connected before i create my trigger? is there any way?




Jaya

To find ip address
select sys_context('userenv','ip_address') from dual;

To find all client machine use
SELECT UTL_INADDR.get_host_address(terminal) FROM v$session
where status='ACTIVE'

your 2 methods shows the current session details means IP address of the machine, if it is connected right now. but i told that.....i want IP address of the machine, which was connected in previous days. ex: before 10 days.

So remove where clause
i.e., use
SELECT UTL_INADDR.get_host_address(terminal) FROM v$session
