Hi,

I am running tkprof on a slow query. Here is what I am doing.

SQL> alter session set sql_trace=true;
SQL> run query via a script
SQL> quit;

I need to do this from the client as I do not have access to the server. Where would the .trc file be located? And would I have access to the tkprof utility from the client?

Thanks,
Sankar.

the output of tkprof is placed in the location determined by  USER_DUMP_DEST in server only.
what exactly are u trying to do?
If you are looking into performance related issues, to some extent u can use explain plan or autotrace 

mag@itloaner1_local > @c:oracleora81rdbmsadminutlxplan.sql

Table created.

mag@itloaner1_local > set autotrace on
mag@itloaner1_local > select * from dept;

    DEPTNO DNAME          LOC
---------- -------------- -------------
        10 ACCOUNTING     NEW YORK
        20 RESEARCH       DALLAS
        30 SALES          CHICAGO
        40 OPERATIONS     BOSTON

Execution Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
   0      SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE
   1    0   TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'DEPT'

the trace file is created in the user_dump_dest location.
It will be loacated in the server.
you can normally open the oracleadmindb_nameudump
folder and find the last created file.
with either ls -ltr or in NT u can arrange icons by date
you can open the .trc file with notepad / vi and see if it contains the Query u had given. Once it contains your query that is your trace file.
then use the TKPROF utility as follows.
c:>tkprof <
> <<outputfile>> <<[[explain=Y]]>>
Ex:

c:> tkprof d;oracleadminprinceudumpora08903.trc c:output.txt explain=y


then you can open the c:output.txt and start diagnosing.
