Alerts
Oracle Alert gives you an immediate view of the critical activity in your database. It sends Notification for any unusual business events you need to know. Basic Business Needs Lets you specify the exception conditions you want to know about, as often as you want to know about them. Informs you of exception conditions by sending alert messages through a single application - your electronic mail. Takes actions you specify, based upon your response to an alert message.

Alert Types Event Alert

Event alerts immediately notify you of activity in your database as it happens. You define what a database event is an insert or an update to a table and Oracle Alert informs you when it happens. You specify the following: A database event that you want to monitor, that is, an insert and/or an update to a specific database table. A SQL Select statement that retrieves specific database information as a result of the database event. As a result of Alert action you can send a mail, running a concurrent program, running an operating script, or running a SQL statement script.

Alert Types Periodic Alert

A Periodic alert periodically reports key information according to a schedule that you define. Rather than notify you of immediate exceptions in the database like an event alert, a periodic alert scans for specific database information specified by its SQL SELECT statement at scheduled intervals. You can specify the following: A SQL Select statement that retrieves specific database information. The Frequency that you want the periodic alert to run the SQL statement. Actions that you want Oracle Alert to perform once it runs the SQL statement.
