That is wrong. See for example

Do you have something when using a connection pool? Is it possible to set some v$session infos when using connection pool? Thx a lot in advance, Willi Realy cool code snippet.

With JDBC OCI driver, program cannot be overriden. With JDBC Thin, the code above works, since the property is not overriden, with JDBC OCI it does not work and you always get V$SESSION.PROGRAM='java.exe'. This is based on testing with 10.2.0.3.0 Oracle JDBC driver. Norbert Debes For JDBC OCI the program is java.exe when java runs on windows. With JDBC OCI driver, program cannot be overriden.

Saying "It doesn't work" without supplying any addtional information is unlikely to get you much help :-) I'll give it a go anyway - are you using a connection pool? Is it possible you're using a Database driver that is mangling your properties object? Can you get your driver to output the properties it is using to confirm it is correctly getting set? Specifiyng v$session.program is something natively supported in Oracle - if it isn't working for you, the problem is either going to be an (unlikely) bug in Oracle, or else a bug in the method you're using to connect to the database.
