Sandy, The only way that I can think of to get all of this at one time would be to enable Oracle auditing and browse the AUD$ table. Oh yes, you'd have to audit select, insert, update, and delete whenever successful. ........................................................................ .............................................................

He wants to include all selects, inserts, updates, and deletes. What would be the best way to gather this information. Is there a way I can easily break it down by each type of transaction?
