Attributes of Database Operations

A database operation has attributes that uniquely identify it. These attributes are the following:

• Database operation name

  This is a user-created name such as daily_sales_report. For an example of naming a database operation, see “Creating a Database Operation”.

• Database operation execution ID

  Two or more occurrences of the same database operation can run at the same time, each in a different database session, with the same name but with different execution IDs. This numeric ID uniquely identifies different executions of the same database operation.

  The database automatically creates an execution ID when you begin a database operation. You can also specify your own execution ID.
