You can't unless you activated audit on the session.
If all connections are made remotely, you can have a look at listener.log to get the connection requests, not more.

where can i find that listener.log? and i have enable auditing yesterday only.



actually the thing is....My company uses oracle as the back-end database for arc catalog (GIS) so all the users connect(to server) from their arc catalog tool installed in their computers. Now i need to know the user log information like when did the user logged in and when did they logged off!!!
Pleasegive me a detailed or step by step explanation so that it will be helpfull to me..
THanks in advance Michel Cadot

So it is application login information you want then ask the application to give it not Oracle.

But i have created the users in oracle as it is the database .. and they select the required tables(map) from the database ..
But nowhere i found the users log info in the application so i came to database.!!

And you found nothing in the database as you didn't activate the proper feature.
If you want application login information, ask the application to log them, now.
Database login audit is for database login information.
Two different things.

ok....In my view I thought that the login information of the application will also reside in the history of the oracle database as it is the back end!

No, it resides inside the database only if the application explicitly records it.
How could Oracle know what is done in the front end? Only if the application tells it.

Many applications can do things without connecting to a database and do other things connecting to the database.
Many applications can do things on several databases (Oracle and/or not Oracle) for the same application connection.
These show that an application connection and a database connection are different.

But Michel what happens is the user logon information(username/password) is stored in the database ..and so when the user gives the username and password it goes and check in the database and if it is correct then it will connect to the server(or application residing in the server) right?. so is there a chance of getting ? I am just clearing my doubts Michel

If the application stores application login/logout details in the DB then of course you can get it, it's just data in a table.
