No value judgements were supplied. In 9i, information about all DDL is
already available, and there's no overhead in the system collecting it,
whereas triggers do impose an overhead. Roll your own, if you insist, but
you'll be performing completely unnecessary work, and so will the database.
In 8i, I didn't add anything to Tom's previous answer, since the link he
supplied is all you could ask for... though on second thoughts, perhaps he
should also have supplied a reference to the dbms_drop_the_attitude package.
