OK my first usage of log miner seemed to go exactly by the book until I went to look at the data in v$logmnr_contents. The sql_redo column was filled with strings like the following.
update "UNKNOWN"."Objn:3167" set "Col[43]" = HEXTORAW('7867090f010101') ...

I created the dictionary file, and didn't get any errors when I referenced it in the start_logmnr procedure. I understand that the dictionary file is required to get my actual object names and column names and such. I am also pretty sure it was created correctly, so it shouldn't be the root of my problem.

As I am typing this, thinking it over, I realize that I was logged in as my own user connected as sysdba. Maybe I should redo this connected as ths sys user. I created the dictionary file as the sys user. I am gonna have to try that after lunch. While I do though, and since I have already typed this much, I am gonna toss this up to my fellow listers. The only documentation I have been using is the 8i Administrators Guide, and one of its examples references a column that isn't in the v$logmnr_contents view. Perhaps I need a different reference.

Thanks,
Steve
