Hello, Tom!

I have an issue with Oracle 11.2.0.4 on LINUX: when I run a "CREATE TABLE" or "ALTER TABLE" statements, I do not see them fully in the trace file of the session. I see only first 25 characters.
Please advise.

Thank you in advance!

I remember this too. This is a bug.

We have always truncated *some* DDL for security reasons, ie

SET ROLE
GRANT
ALTER USER
ALTER ROLE
CREATE USER
CREATE ROLE

because the password would be in the trace file otherwise. The bug ended up with all DDL being truncated.

Speak to Support - there may be patches available for your platform....or its time to upgrade :-)
