RE: auditing code changes ?

This implict compilation also generates records in the database audit trail (false positives) -- Which can leave a DBA scratching his head when he knows that the user listed in the audit record doesn't have the rights to issue DDL on the given view.

Relying on LAST_DDL_TIME can be kind of tricky, as it can be indirectly altered by a user other than the one that made the change.

Consider that a view is created on a table.

The table is then modified by adding a column.

The view is now invalidated, and the next time a user queries it the view will be recompiled.
