Netezza SQL to find Client IP - netezza

Question

Is there any way to return the client IP address in Netezza? In Oracle we run below query .
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','IP_ADDRESS') FROM dual;
Thanks

Answer 1

This query can get you all the information you need about the current_session.
select client_ip
from _v_session_detail
where session_id= CURRENT_SID

Answer 2

You can use "show session" to provide that information if you aren't trying to access it as a column in a table.
SYSTEM.ADMIN(ADMIN)=> SYSTEM.ADMIN(ADMIN)=> show session;
SESSION_ID | PID | USERNAME | DBNAME | SCHEMA | TYPE | CONNECT_TIME | SESSION_STATE_NAME | SQLTEXT | PRIORITY_NAME | CLIENT_PID | CLIENT_IP | CLIENT_OS_USERNAME
------------+-------+----------+--------+--------+------+---------------------+--------------------+--------------+---------------+------------+-----------+--------------------
16228 | 10272 | ADMIN | SYSTEM | ADMIN | sql | 2014-12-10 10:56:48 | active | show session | normal | 10271 | 127.0.0.1 |
(1 row)
You can also query against the _v_session, which will report on sessions you have visibility/authorization to see, but doesn't necessarily tell you which one is yours. For a non-administrative user this is usually only your sessions, so it should be easy to tell.
SYSTEM.ADMIN(ADMIN)=> select * from _v_session;
ID | PID | USERNAME | DBNAME | TYPE | CONNTIME | STATUS | COMMAND | PRIORITY | CID | IPADDR | CLIENT_OS_USERNAME
-------+-------+----------+--------+------+---------------------+--------+--------------------------+----------+-------+-----------+--------------------
16228 | 10272 | ADMIN | SYSTEM | sql | 2014-12-10 10:56:48 | active | select * from _v_session | 3 | 10271 | 127.0.0.1 |
(1 row)
If you want information only about the particular session in which you are calling the query, then this will do the trick.
SYSTEM.ADMIN(ADMIN)=> select * from _v_session where id = current_sid;
ID | PID | USERNAME | DBNAME | TYPE | CONNTIME | STATUS | COMMAND | PRIORITY | CID | IPADDR | CLIENT_OS_USERNAME
-------+-------+----------+--------+------+---------------------+--------+-------------------------------------------------+----------+-------+-----------+--------------------
16837 | 22310 | ADMIN | SYSTEM | sql | 2014-12-10 19:06:21 | active | select * from _v_session where id = current_sid | 3 | 22309 | 127.0.0.1 |
(1 row)
I should note that what you're looking for here is already being tracked by the query history database, which is most likely already configured on your system.
