Date: Wed, 06 Jun 2001 18:25:30 -0700 Subject: RE: Recording Destructive DDL Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Obtaining the triggering statement is beyond my ken. If I use a "before" trigger and a cursor, select lower(replace( q.sql_text,' ',null)) from v$sql q, v$sql_cursor c, v$session s where s.audsid=audsid and s.prev_sql_addr=q.address and q.address=c.parent_handle; . I get back select lower(replace( q.sql_text,' ',null)) from v$sql q, v$sql_cursor c, v$session s where s.audsid=audsid and s.prev_sql_addr=q.address and q.address=c.parent_handle; If I do it as an after statement trigger I get back deletefromcol$whereobj#=:1andintcol#=:2 which is the DML run against the sys object to execute the drop column request. Of course if I do it as an "after" I cannot loop through the column_names to check for which one was dropped because it already has been.

In v$sqlarea I cannot see this type of DDL. I can see alter schema object. It is 8.1.7 Solaris As to the question - I did not try it but if owner of the trigger has access to$sqlarea you can inside trigger query v$sqlarea for current session and check if there are any alter... drop statements. Strange that oracle does not provide SQL statement as one of the trigger attributs. Alex Hillman -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 9:46 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I've written a system event trigger which records information on when a table was dropped or truncated. I would also like to record when someone does an "alter table drop column..." The problem is determining when the alter statement includes the drop column clause. It looks like I have to use the ora_is_drop_column function, calling it for each column in the table and checking the return code. Is there a way of determing whether "drop column" was issued without using this function?
