Don't do it.
The underlying uet$ table is one of the most heavily used tables.
Also, what happens if your trigger fails, and the transaction started on
behalf of Oracle to update uet$ consequently also fails. I wouldn't be in
your shoes, when Support refuses to help you out.
Better build a monitor tool to run at regular intervals. That's harmless.
Why do so many people the last few days want to 'tweak' the data-dictionary?
Has everyone gone mad, or am I mistaken?
