Dear Friends,

I have some doubts about redo log files,
1) Can we fetch 'select statements' from redo log files through the use of log miner utility or any other?
(I think redo log file contains only insert,update,delete and DDL/DCL commands only)

2) If "No" to the above answer then how can i fetch all select statements fired on the system for a day or particular time.
(setting of sql_trace may be the one of them, but can it be possible for system level)

Please give me some link or related docs for the above problem.

Regards

Jimit

1) No, SELECT are not in the redo logs, only modifications are in the redo logs
2) Set AUDIT_TRAIL parameter to Db and activate AUDIT on SELECT on the tables you want to follow.

Hi,
There is a phenomenon known as delayed block cleanout. When this phenomenon occurs,a simple select can generate redo.
Now,whether that select is logged in redo logfiles you will have to mine the current redo log file and see for yourself.

True but this does not generate entry queryable by Log Miner (this is a side effect of previous DML statements) which was OP's point.
