    My first question is:

    I have a script to show me is there any DDL task happened in database in the last 2 days as below:

    PROMPT ===== OBJECTS CHANGED in LAST 2 DAYS IN NU_MODEL
    select SUBSTR(OWNER,1,15), SUBSTR(OBJECT_NAME,1,20), OBJECT_TYPE, CREATED, LAST_DDL_TIME, TIMESTAMP
    from DBA_OBJECTS
    where (LAST_DDL_TIME > sysdate-2) or
    (CREATED > sysdate-2)
    ORDER BY LAST_DDL_TIME
    /


    But I actually need to know a little bit more! I need to know what was this DDL? For example it just show Table XY had changed but was it a new column, new table, ...? Same thing about Stored Procs? Was it only recompiled or change?

    How can I do that?


    Another question is I want to create a user and give him GRANT to be able to create ONLY tables with temp_ prefix not any other tables? ( This is user will be use by an application and application internally create and delete temp_XYZ table.

    How can I do this?

    Oracle only updates the time stamp of last DDL in the data dictionary table not the sql.

    However, you may get the exact DDL from V$SQLAREA by running the following query, provided the statements are not aged out:

    In SQL Plus,
    set column sql_text format a66
    select sql_text
    from v$sqlarea
    where sql_text like 'CREATE%' or
    sql_text like 'ALTER%'
    ;

    Another method is, use log miner. I have not used it to find out the last DDL statements. You can try.

    But we shut down our DB every night... I think the v$sqlarea will be wipe out... doesn't it?

    I don't know log mioner and we use 8.0.5

    Any other way?

    Also My second QQQ please ?

    You can not restrict a user to create only tables beginning with only TEMP_.

    To your first question,
    set up a cronjob at a interval of 10 minutes that will execute a SQL and spool the output to file.

    Try to use AUDIT for statmant level --> TABLE.
    It will write to audit file or table information about all commands like:
    create table .. alter table .. drop table .. delete from table and so on.

    I could imagine auditing data in tables , in oradinary databases . Is AuditTrail Feature available for normal databases applications also also like Oracle Apps databse ??

    could u provide with procedure ?

    I wrote this post because i thing that is only one way on oracle 8.0.5 for do that.
    The way that describe in tamilselvan's post doesn't work.
    Oracle doesn't keep in sqlarea commands:
    create table ..
    drop table ..
    and LogMiner not avaiable in this version of oracle.

    Just check it --->

    SQL> select sql_text
    from v$sqlarea
    where sql_text like 'CREATE%' or sql_text like 'create%' or
    sql_text like 'DROP%' or sql_text like 'drop%'
    ;

    no rows selected

    SQL> drop table t_alter;

    Table dropped.

    SQL> create table t_alter(a char);

    Table created.

    SQL> select sql_text
    from v$sqlarea
    where sql_text like 'CREATE%' or sql_text like 'create%' or
    sql_text like 'DROP%' or sql_text like 'drop%'
    ;

    no rows selected

    SQL>
    ========================================================================
    and then:
    ========================================================================
    SQL>
    select sql_text from v$sqlarea
    where sql_text like '%CREATE%' or sql_text like '%create%' or
    sql_text like '%DROP%' or sql_text like '%drop%'
    ;
    SQL_TEXT
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ALTER SESSION SET CREATE_STORED_OUTLINES=FALSE
    BEGIN :RESULT := SYS.OUTLN_PKG.DROP_COLLISION_EXPACT; END;
    BEGIN :RESULT := SYS.OUTLN_PKG.DROP_EXTRAS_EXPACT; END;
    select 'drop '||object_type||' '||owner||'.'||object_name|| ' ;'
    from all_objects where owner = 'MEDEDNEW' and object_type in ('TABLE','FUNCT
    ION','PROCEDURE','PACKAGE')
    ...
    select sql_text from v$sqlarea where sql_text like 'CREATE%' or sql_text like 'c
    reate%'
