Purpose

OracleStreams is an asynchronous information sharing infrastructure.
One of the components of Streams is implicit Capture, where redo logs are mined
by a Capture process and assembled as logical change record events (LCR) in a
Streams queue. These LCRs can be propagated to other queues and/or consumed by
an Apply process. Users can provide Apply Handlers where they can process the LCRs.

The LCRs track DML and DDL changes in the database. DML or Row LCRs track
before and after row images for a DML operation and are analogous to
asynchronous triggers. By using Streams, we can provide DML and DDL auditing


Scope

To be used by Oraclesupport analysts and replication DBAs using Streams in
Oracle 9.2 or higher.This article discusses the steps for DML and DDL Auditing.
