概述
Application Context是内存中的一组name-value对,application context从属于某个命名空间(namespace)。
用 户只能通过一个自定义procedure调用dbms_session.set_context来设置application context的值。用户使用sys_context(<namespace>,<name>)来获取某个 application context的值。
Application context分为三种
- dabase session-based application context,又称为local application context。Local application context存储在UGA中,dedicated server mode, UGA在PGA中,shared server mode,UGA在SGA中。local application context是会话/server process级别的。只有本会话能够访问。当会话/server process终止时,local application context的生命周期也结束了。另一篇博客Oracle VPD http://blog.csdn.net/chncaesar/article/details/18550029 给出了一个local application context的例子。

- global application context,Global application context存储在SGA中,只要SGA不消亡,global application context就一直存在。global application context常常用于跨会话,与会话无关的场景。dbms_session.set_context有两个默认值为NULL的参数:
username
client_id
username = null , client_id=null。所有用户都能访问。
username = null, client_id=<client_id>。 只要session 的client_id =<client_id>,而不管username,都能访问。
username = <database username>, client_id=null。只要session使用指定的oracle schema登陆,不管client_id,都能访问。
username = <database username>, client_id=<client_id>. 常用于statless web session ,如http。
username = <non-database username>, client_id=<client_id> . 该username将用于数据库连接池的owner。

例3 Tutorial: Creating a Global Application Context That Uses a Client Session ID
You must create two users for this example: a security administrator who will manage the application context and its package, and a user account that owns the connection pool.
In this tutorial:
-
Log on to SQL*Plus as
SYS
and connect usingAS SYSDBA
.sqlplus sys as sysdba Enter password: password
-
Create the
sysadmin_ctx
account, who will administer the global application context.GRANT CREATE SESSION, CREATE ANY CONTEXT, CREATE PROCEDURE TO sysadmin_ctx IDENTIFIED BY password; GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_SESSION TO sysadmin_ctx;
Replace
password
with a password that is secure. See "Minimum Requirements for Passwords" for more information. -
Create the database account
apps_user
, who will own the connection pool.GRANT CREATE SESSION TO apps_user IDENTIFIED BY password;
Replace
password
with a password that is secure. See "Minimum Requirements for Passwords" for more information.
Step 2: Create the Global Application Context
-
Log on as the security administrator
sysadmin_ctx
.CONNECT sysadmin_ctx Enter password: password
-
Create the
cust_ctx
global application context.CREATE CONTEXT global_cust_ctx USING cust_ctx_pkg ACCESSED GLOBALLY;
The
cust_ctx
context is created and associated with the schema of the security administratorsysadmin_ctx
. However, theSYS
schema owns the application context.
Step 3: Create a Package for the Global Application Context
-
As
sysadmin_ctx
, create the following PL/SQL package:CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE cust_ctx_pkg AS PROCEDURE set_session_id(session_id_p IN NUMBER); PROCEDURE set_cust_ctx(sec_level_attr IN VARCHAR2, sec_level_val IN VARCHAR2); PROCEDURE clear_hr_session(session_id_p IN NUMBER); PROCEDURE clear_hr_context; END; / CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY cust_ctx_pkg AS session_id_global NUMBER; PROCEDURE set_session_id(session_id_p IN NUMBER) AS BEGIN session_id_global := session_id_p; DBMS_SESSION.SET_IDENTIFIER(session_id_p); END set_session_id; PROCEDURE set_cust_ctx(sec_level_attr IN VARCHAR2, sec_level_val IN VARCHAR2) AS BEGIN DBMS_SESSION.SET_CONTEXT( namespace => 'global_cust_ctx', attribute => sec_level_attr, value => sec_level_val, username => USER, -- Retrieves the session user, in this case, apps_user client_id => session_id_global); END set_cust_ctx; PROCEDURE clear_hr_session(session_id_p IN NUMBER) AS BEGIN DBMS_SESSION.SET_IDENTIFIER(session_id_p); DBMS_SESSION.CLEAR_IDENTIFIER; END clear_hr_session; PROCEDURE clear_hr_context AS BEGIN DBMS_SESSION.CLEAR_CONTEXT('global_cust_ctx', session_id_global); END clear_hr_context; END; /
For a detailed explanation of how this type of package works, see Example 6-12.
-
Grant
EXECUTE
privileges on thecust_ctx_pkg
package to the connection pool owner,apps_user
.GRANT EXECUTE ON cust_ctx_pkg TO apps_user;
Step 4: Test the Global Application Context
At this stage, you are ready to explore how this global application context and session ID settings work.
-
Log on to SQL*Plus as the connection pool owner, user
apps_user
.CONNECT apps_user Enter password: password
-
When the connection pool user logs on, the application sets the client session identifier as follows:
BEGIN sysadmin_ctx.cust_ctx_pkg.set_session_id(34256); END; /
You can test and check the value of the client session identifier as follows:
-
Connect to SQL*Plus as the connection pool user
apps_user
. -
Set the session ID:
EXEC sysadmin_ctx.cust_ctx_pkg.set_session_id(34256);
-
Check the session ID:
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('userenv', 'client_identifier') FROM dual;
The following output should appear:
SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CLIENT_IDENTIFIER') -------------------------------------------------- 34256
-
-
As user
apps_user
, set the global application context as follows:EXEC sysadmin_ctx.cust_ctx_pkg.set_cust_ctx('Category', 'Gold Partner'); EXEC sysadmin_ctx.cust_ctx_pkg.set_cust_ctx('Benefit Level', 'Highest');
(In a real-world scenario, the middle-tier application would set the global application context values, similar to how the client session identifier was set in Step 2.)
-
Enter the following
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT
statement to check that the settings were successful:col category format a13 col benefit_level format a14 SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('global_cust_ctx', 'Category') category, SYS_CONTEXT('global_cust_ctx', 'Benefit Level') benefit_level FROM dual;
The following output should appear:
CATEGORY BENEFIT_LEVEL ------------- -------------- Gold Partner Highest
What apps_user
has done here, within the client session 34256, is set a global application context on behalf of a nondatabase user. This context sets the Category
and Benefit Level
DBMS_SESSION.SET_CONTEXT attributes
to be Gold Partner
and Highest
, respectively. The context exists only for user apps_user
with client ID 34256. When a nondatabase user logs in, behind the scenes, he or she is really logging on as the connection pool user apps_user
. Hence, the Gold Partner
and Highest
context values are available to the nondatabase user.
Suppose the user had been a database user and could log in without using the intended application. (For example, the user logs in using SQL*Plus.) Because the user has not logged in through the connection pool user apps_user
, the global application context appears empty to our errant user. This is because the context was created and set under the apps_user
session. If the user runs the SELECT SYS_CONTEXT
statement, the following output appears:
CATEGORY BENEFIT_LEVEL ------------- --------------
Next, try the following test:
-
As user
apps_user
, clear the session ID.EXEC sysadmin_ctx.cust_ctx_pkg.clear_hr_session(34256);
-
Check the global application context settings again.
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('global_cust_ctx', 'Category') category, SYS_CONTEXT('global_cust_ctx', 'Benefit Level') benefit_level FROM dual; CATEGORY BENEFIT_LEVEL ------------- --------------
Because
apps_user
has cleared the session ID, the global application context settings are no longer available. -
Restore the session ID to 34256, and then check the context values.
EXEC sysadmin_ctx.cust_ctx_pkg.set_session_id(34256); SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('global_cust_ctx', 'Category') category, SYS_CONTEXT('global_cust_ctx', 'Benefit Level') benefit_level FROM dual;
The following output should appear:
CATEGORY BENEFIT_LEVEL ------------- -------------- Gold Partner Highest
As you can see, resetting the session ID to 34256 brings the application context values back again. To summarize, the global application context must be set only once for this user, but the client session ID must be set each time the user logs on.
-
Now try clearing and then checking the global application context values.
EXEC sysadmin_ctx.cust_ctx_pkg.clear_hr_context; SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('global_cust_ctx', 'Category') category, SYS_CONTEXT('global_cust_ctx', 'Benefit Level') benefit_level FROM dual;
The following output should appear:
CATEGORY BENEFIT_LEVEL ------------- --------------
At this stage, the client session ID, 34256 is still in place, but the application context settings no longer exist. This enables you to continue the session for this user but without using the previously set application context values.
3个例子都提供了clear_hr_context 存储过程。这是因为global application context常驻SGA,需要用户使用完毕就清理,以免信息泄露。
Tutorial: Creating and Using a Database Session-Based Application Context
Step 1: Create User Accounts and Ensure the User SCOTT Is Active
-
Log on as user
SYS
and connect using theAS SYSDBA
privilege.sqlplus sys as sysdba Enter password: password
-
Create the
sysadmin_ctx
account, who will administer the database session-based application context.GRANT CREATE SESSION, CREATE ANY CONTEXT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE TRIGGER, ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER TO sysadmin_ctx IDENTIFIED BY password; GRANT SELECT ON HR.EMPLOYEES TO sysadmin_ctx; GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_SESSION TO sysadmin_ctx;
Replace
password
with a password that is secure. See "Minimum Requirements for Passwords" for more information. -
Create the following user account for Lisa Ozer, who is listed as having
lozer
for her email account in theHR.EMPLOYEES
table.GRANT CREATE SESSION TO LOZER IDENTIFIED BY password;
Replace
password
with a password that is secure. See "Minimum Requirements for Passwords" for more information. -
The sample user
SCOTT
will also be used in this tutorial, so query theDBA_USERS
data dictionary view to ensure thatSCOTT
is not locked or expired.SELECT USERNAME, ACCOUNT_STATUS FROM DBA_USERS WHERE USERNAME = 'SCOTT';
If the
DBA_USERS
view lists userSCOTT
as locked and expired, then enter the following statement to unlock theSCOTT
account and create a new password for him:ALTER USER SCOTT ACCOUNT UNLOCK IDENTIFIED BY password;
Enter a password that is secure. For greater security, do not give the
SCOTT
account the same password from previous releases of Oracle Database. See "Minimum Requirements for Passwords" for the minimum requirements for creating passwords.
Step 2: Create the Database Session-Based Application Context
-
Log on to SQL*Plus as
sysadmin_ctx
.CONNECT sysadmin_ctx Enter password: password
-
Create the application context using the following statement:
CREATE CONTEXT empno_ctx USING set_empno_ctx_pkg;
Remember that even though user
sysadmin_ctx
has created this application context, theSYS
schema owns the context.
Step 3: Create a Package to Retrieve Session Data and Set the Application Context
Example 6-7 shows how to create the package you need to retrieve the session data and set the application context. Before creating the package, ensure that you are still logged on as user sysadmin_ctx
. (You can copy and paste this text by positioning the cursor at the start of CREATE OR REPLACE
in the first line.)
Example 6-7 Package to Retrieve Session Data and Set a Database Session Context
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE set_empno_ctx_pkg IS PROCEDURE set_empno; END; / CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY set_empno_ctx_pkg IS PROCEDURE set_empno IS emp_id HR.EMPLOYEES.EMPLOYEE_ID%TYPE; BEGIN SELECT EMPLOYEE_ID INTO emp_id FROM HR.EMPLOYEES WHERE email = SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'SESSION_USER'); DBMS_SESSION.SET_CONTEXT('empno_ctx', 'employee_id', emp_id); EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN NULL; END; END; / |
This package creates a procedure called set_empno
that performs the following actions:
-
Line 8: Declares a variable,
emp_id
, to store the employee ID for the user who logs on. It uses the same data type as theEMPLOYEE_ID
column inHR.EMPLOYEES
. -
Line 10: Performs a
SELECT
statement to copy the employee ID that is stored in theemployee_id
column data from theHR.EMPLOYEES
table into theemp_id
variable. -
Line 11: Uses a
WHERE
clause to find all employee IDs that match the email account for the session user. TheSYS_CONTEXT
function uses the predefinedUSERENV
context to retrieve the user session ID, which is the same as theemail
column data. For example, the user ID and email address for Lisa Ozer are both the same:lozer
. -
Line 12: Uses the
DBMS_SESSION.SET_CONTEXT
procedure to set the application context:-
'empno_ctx'
: Calls the application contextempno_ctx
. Encloseempno_ctx
in single quotes. -
'employee_id'
: Creates the attribute value of theempno_ctx
application context name-value pair, by naming itemployee_id
. Encloseemployee_id
in single quotes. -
emp_id
: Sets the value for theemployee_id
attribute to the value stored in theemp_id
variable. Theemp_id
variable was created in Line 8 and the employee ID was retrieved in Lines 10–11.
To summarize, the
set_empno_ctx_pkg.set_empno
procedure says, "Get the session ID of the user and then match it with the employee ID and email address of any user listed in theHR.EMPLOYEES
table." -
-
Lines 13–14: Add a
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
system exception to catch anyno data found
errors that may result from theSELECT
statement in Lines 10–11. Without this exception, the package and logon trigger will work fine and set the application context as needed, but then any non-system administrator users other than the users listed in theHR.EMPLOYEES
table will not be able to log in to the database. Other users should be able to log in to the database, assuming they are valid database users. Once the application context information is set, then you can use this session information as a way to control user access to a particular application.
Step 4: Create a Logon Trigger for the Package
As user sysadmin_ctx
, create the following trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER set_empno_ctx_trig AFTER LOGON ON DATABASE BEGIN sysadmin_ctx.set_empno_ctx_pkg.set_empno; END; /
Step 5: Test the Application Context
-
Log on as user
lozer
.CONNECT lozer Enter password: password
When user
lozer
logs on, theempno_ctx
application context collects her employee ID. You can check it as follows:SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('empno_ctx', 'employee_id') emp_id FROM DUAL;
The following output should appear:
EMP_ID -------------------------------------------------------- 168
-
Log on as user
SCOTT
.CONNECT SCOTT Enter password: password
User
SCOTT
is not listed as an employee in theHR.EMPLOYEES
table, so theempno_ctx
application context cannot collect an employee ID for him.SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('empno_ctx', 'employee_id') emp_id FROM DUAL;
The following output should appear:
EMP_ID --------------------------------------------------------
From here, the application can use the user session information to determine how much access the user can have in the database. You can use Oracle Virtual Private Database to accomplish this. See Chapter 7, "Using Oracle Virtual Private Database to Control Data Access," for more information.
Step 6: Remove the Components for This Tutorial
-
Log on as
SYS
and connect usingAS SYSDBA
.CONNECT SYS/AS SYSDBA Enter password: password
-
Drop the users
sysadmin_ctx
andlozer
:DROP USER sysadmin_ctx CASCADE; DROP USER lozer;
-
Drop the application context.
DROP CONTEXT empno_ctx;
Remember that even though
sysadmin_ctx
created the application context, it is owned by theSYS
schema. -
If you want, lock and expire
SCOTT
, unless other users want to use this account:ALTER USER SCOTT PASSWORD EXPIRE ACCOUNT LOCK;
