Hey all,
Thanks for the questions.
Yes - ddldump does work against archived redo logs.
Whilst ddldump is currently a windows console program it will work on
redo logs from other OSes. That said, I'll write a version for Mac OS X
and Linux shortly.
There should be no impact on the DB at all. ddldump simply opens the
file in read mode, parses it then outputs to the console. If you want to
save the results to a file simply use the redirect >
C:\>ddldump redo01.log ddl > out.xml
HTH!

Hey David,
Nice tool, looks very interesting. Does it work on archived redolg
files? I'll try it in my toy DBs this week... :-) I'd love to do it in
productive ones, as it works on redo, I'm guessing it has no direct
impact on the DB... is the source code available?
Thanks.
Alan.-

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
