I've written a system event trigger which records information on when a table was dropped or truncated. I would also like to record when someone does an "alter table drop column..." The problem is determining when the alter statement includes the drop column clause. It looks like I have to use the ora_is_drop_column function, calling it for each column in the table and checking the return code. Is there a way of determing whether "drop column" was issued without using this function?
