Hey all,
As part of a larger project, I've written a small tool called ddldump that parses Oracle redolog files and dumps any DDL statements in an XML format. ddldump has been developed with forensic investigations in mind but can of course be simply used by DBAs to peruse the DDL in their logs. You can download it from http://www.v3rity.com/ddldump.php

RDRCOFST is the hexadecimal offset into the redolog file where the redo entry containing the DDL statement can be found CHVCOFST is the hexadecimal offset into the redolog file where the change vector containing the DDL statement can be found TIMESTAMP is the time and date when the redo entry was written to the log file.
SESSION_USER is the user that is logged on and initiated the DDL statement
CURRENT_USER is the user under whose authority the DDL actually executes. If session_user and current_user are different it could be indicitive of a SQL injection attack.
SQL_STATEMENT is the DDL that was executed.
SCHEMA, if present, is the schema upon which the DDL acts.
OBJECT, if present, is the object upon which the DDL acts.
