How can I track if a database link is being used or not ? Is there a way to audit when a statement references a database link ? Any other way ? How could I do that ?

Thanks in advance

You can only audit the sql which might use the database link.

Let me explain my need. I have several database links created im my instance ( almost 300 ). Most of them are no longer used. I just want to find out what are still referenced in select statments and drop the other ones. I don´t need to audit the objets in the target instance. I just want to know if the link is still being used. There must be a way of doing this. Any ideia ? DDL trigger ? Could I track DML statmens and seek for "@" in the text ?

Thanks in advance

That is what the docs said.
You cannot audit the usage of db link.
You can only audit the creation/Drop of a db link.
All you can do is, audit all the sql statements (select/udpdate/...) and look for usage of '@'.

It could be very expensive.

You can also drop them and see what are the problems.

It is auditing that is expensive, If it is done the way you want.
Does not matter where the records are written.
