    Here the schemaname=schema user name
    username= oracle username and both should be the same.

    username is the one who runs the query, schemaname is schema which the queries are run against to

    for example

    I am user SCOTT, when I logon I can do

    alter session set current_schema=FORD;

    Code:
    SQL> select username, schemaname from v$session;
    
    USERNAME                       SCHEMANAME
    ------------------------------ ------------------------------
                                   SYS
                                   SYS
                                   SYS
                                   SYS
                                   SYS
                                   SYS
                                   SYS
                                   SYS
    SCOTT                     FORD
    Scott has table emp with 14 rows, Ford has empty table emp, now if I query emp as SCOTT but under schema FORD I will be querying FORDĀ“s emp table and not SCOTTs

    It should be same except for background processes. For BG processes username is usually NULL and schemaname is SYS.

    Hey, Sanjay pls do read the msg clearly before rasing your doubt again.. That was an excellent reply from Pando which clearly says the difference between username and shcema name in v$session. Read that message once again..

    Hey, nagarjuna pls note the time when pando's and Sanjay's messages were posted. You'll note that it is very likely that pando's reply was not published yet when Sanjay started writing down his comment. So there is no need to be harsh on him, simmilar things have happend to many of us....
