If you can't modify the structure to add a timestamp column or add a trigger to insert a timestamp into another table, there's no way I know of to track it. Oracle doesn't track this sort of thing on its own; you need some sort of timestamp field.

Dear gurus !
Is there a way to know the time of insert/update for each row in a table ? Or , which rows in a table were inserted/updated since a certain time. ( Sort of find ... -mtime ... for UNIX files) . I CAN NOT modify the structure of the table , i.e. i CAN NOT add a timestamp or other column , just need to deal with what is present. Thanks a lot for your help !!!
