When a developer wants to change a table it helps if we know who is using it. Sometimes there are applications that use tables that belong to other applications and nobody remembers. Than we change the table and KABOOM
(as expressed by the Martian that
Bugs Bunny fought and of course according to the application people
an earth shuttering KABOOM :-) ).

We need idea how to do it. We thought about auditing of writing a trigger that will log each access to the table but we fear the overhead.

Any suggestions, ideas, whatever are welcome.
