Agreed. If there was a simple use case and some fairly straightforward definition of what is needed, that would help move things forward. For example, would it be useful if the trigger only had access to the text of the DDL statement? Which DDL statements would it apply to? As Chris points out, saying "we need everything" just becomes a blocker to progress. So if somebody listening would like to research, detail and *justify* a useful set of additional behaviour then it may be possible to add it. -- Simon Riggs 2ndQuadrant http://www.2ndQuadrant.com
