Hi

I am looking for a way to track alter system / alter database commands.

Database triggers are not logging them : I do have a database trigger for DDLs tracking that works great but alter system commands are not captured by it . also trigger 'alter alter on database ' - do not log alter system or alter database

Is there a way for me to force a command to appear in the alert log ?

Or any other way you can think of ?

thanks
Orna

You can't log those that are currently not logged.

Can't I force logging of a certain command into the alert log,even if its not currently logged.

let's say I want each 'alter system flush shared_pool' to be logged.
Is it possible ?

If it is really important for you, you can grant no one direct access to alter system command, create a procedure to do this and grant execute on procedure to allowed user.
In this procedure you can do what you xant.

By the way, you can activate audit on "alter system".
The option depends on your final need.

No, its not that I do not want to give my DBA the privilege, I just want to have a way to track it.

Since I already have my customize trigger that logs all the DDLs in the system, I was hoping to complete the picture by monitoring also alter system commands.

I will look at the audit option - thanks
