Our solution exposes a Stored Procedure to a DB user having the right grants to execute it.
We need to know the date and time for each execution for that stored procedure.
We are in production, so we can not instrument the running code of the stored procedure.


thanks

An audit can do that for you

SQL> create or replace
  2  procedure my_proc is
  3  begin
  4    null;
  5  end;
  6  /

Procedure created.

SQL>
SQL>
SQL> audit execute on my_proc;

Audit succeeded.

SQL> exec my_proc

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> exec my_proc

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> exec my_proc
