oci_set_action - Sets the action name
Manual
Code Examples

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

connection

An Oracle connection identifier, returned by oci_connect, oci_pconnect, or oci_new_connect.

action

User chosen string up to 32 bytes long.

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Notes

Note:
Oracle version requirement

This function is available when PHP is linked with Oracle Database libraries from version 10g onwards.

Performance

With older versions of OCI8 or the Oracle Database, the client information can be set using the Oracle DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO package. This is less efficient than using oci_set_client_info.

Caution:
Round-trip Gotcha

Some but not all OCI8 functions cause round-trips. Round-trips to the database may not occur with queries when result caching is enabled.
