Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: DB versions
We do a simple method of checking the LAST_DDL_TIME in DBA_OBJECTS. This will give a decent indication of at least what objects have changed .... just not neccessarily the actual change that was made. Along with this we use a ADMINISTRATIVE log. When we make changes ...we update the log. This is only good if YOUR DBAS UPDATE THE LOG. Another way is to require that anyone making DDL change make a copy of the object first. This way you have a before and after image. We have written a package that will generate the DDL for most kind of objects (well, at least 7.3.4 and 8.0 objects) so that we have the rebuild scripts for objects before changes.
Hope at least some of this helps.

I'd appreciate any info. anyone could provide on what method you use to track database changes that have been implemented in dev, test, stage and production. I need a way of tracking frequent modifications to tables, packages, etc.. and wanted to get some input on how others are handling this.
TIA,
