Access Logs via SQL [message #515943]

Hi,

I'm currently working on a project in which I do not have permissions to access the Server where the database is installed and configure.
Because of company policies, I do not have Admin Rights over Oracle, but I do have an account that can make Selects to DBA_USER_PRIVS for instance.

I would like to know if there is any way to access the database logs to know if there was any kind of problem within the database, because one of my Schemas misteriously went clean (all tables, sequences, triggers, ... vanished)

Can anyone help me, please?

Thanks!

If you mean the alert_log you could always try creating an external table on it.

But how can I find the Alert_logs.txt file?

I don't have access to the fileserver.

Is there any other way?

If you have no access to the database server then you can't.
(Anyway such action is not in alert.log)

If there is an audit on ddl (which is often the case on production) then query dba_audit_trail.
Otherwise, you have to ask the DBA to make the investigation for you, maybe using Log Miner.

Thanks!

Since I don't have the SYS password, I will wait for my DBA to find what has happening.

Thanks a lot!
