Welcome message for oracle schema

dba.stackexchange https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/230891

Question

I want to display welcome message when ever a oracle schema try to login database using TOAD or PLSQL developer only

Was it helpful?

Solution

HOWTO configure the banner

In the sqlnet.ora file on the server, set the values for:

  • SEC_USER_AUDIT_ACTION_BANNER
  • SEC_USER_UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS_BANNER

You may have to restart the database for the changes to take affect.

Application Requirements

The application must:

  • use the OCI driver
  • fetch the banner (using OCI calls)

  • display the banner

    Oracle Call Interface (OCI) applications can make use of OCI features to retrieve this banner and display it to the user.

The quote is from Oracle Documentation.

Servers cannot force clients to do something.

Will it work with ...?

  • SQL Plus - Yes. See Sam's post
  • SQL Developer - Yes. See Sam's post
  • PLSQL Developer - unknown. You'll have to use the OCI driver and try it.
  • TOAD - unknown. You'll have to use the OCI driver and try it.

OTHER TIPS

Create a text file along with the message to be displayed.Example I created a text file with a message
