Hi all Written a database trigger ddltrigger that fires on ddl on database. Owned by system Prompt Creating Trigger ddltrigger CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER DDLTrigger BEFORE DROP OR DDL ON DATABASE DECLARE BEGIN =09ddlaudit.audit; END; This then calls a package that does a small amount of work (also owned by system), this then calls the meaty packaged owned by another user (not system) that does the actual logging. Problem I am having is this trigger does not fire when it is dropped itself.
