Note: Very good for monitoring all the DDL at your database

SQL > Conn / as sysdba

SQL > CREATE TABLE perfstat.STATS$DDL_LOG

(
USER_NAME VARCHAR2(25 BYTE),
DDL_DATE DATE,
DDL_TYPE VARCHAR2(25 BYTE),
OBJECT_TYPE VARCHAR2(25 BYTE),
OWNER VARCHAR2(25 BYTE),
OBJECT_NAME VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
TERMINAL_NAME VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
IP_ADDRESS VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)
);

Table created.

SQL > grant all on perfstat.STATS$DDL_LOG to apps;

Grant succeeded.

SQL > conn apps

Enter password:
Connected.
SQL > create synonym DDL_LOG for perfstat.STATS$DDL_LOG;

Synonym created.

SQL > conn / as sysdba

Connected.
SQL > CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER DDLTrigger
AFTER DDL ON DATABASE
DECLARE
v_terminal_name varchar2(40);
v_ip_address varchar2(40);
BEGIN
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT ('USERENV', 'TERMINAL')
INTO v_terminal_name
FROM DUAL;
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT ('USERENV', 'IP_ADDRESS')
INTO v_ip_address
FROM DUAL;
insert into
perfstat.stats$ddl_log
(
user_name,
ddl_date, ddl_type,
object_type,
owner,
object_name,
terminal_name ,
ip_address
)
VALUES
(
ora_login_user,
sysdate,
ora_sysevent,
ora_dict_obj_type,
ora_dict_obj_owner,
ora_dict_obj_name,
v_terminal_name,
v_ip_address
);

END;
/

Trigger created.

conn apps
SQL > Enter password: Connected.
