You Asked

Hi,

Is it possible to track previously executed DCL (Data Control Language ) statements in Oracle 11g?

A user might have accidentally revoked privileges on a particular sequence. I need to know who ran the DCL statement and when.

Thanks in Advance!
Sunil

Any statement *can* be tracked by auditing, but if you are not *already* auditing, then you won't be able to see when they occurred in the past.

Its a good idea to audit all DDL on a database in my opinion, or even log it in greater detail, eg
