Deepa, Change the requirement. I think that the best you can do is a generator for as many triggers as you have tables you want to monitor. The best I know to do in terms of generic triggers is catching statement and bind variables, and even this involves having a peek at places where you are not supposed to. Or use LogMiner, of which I know very little. -- Regards, Stephane Faroult Oriole Software -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Stephane Faroult INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
