Hi Tom,

My existing functionality is getting along with the trigger event: 'INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE' FOR EACH ROW on approximately all tables to track modified rows. And then the modified rows are inserted into a target table.

However, I have been asked to use a different approach (without the trigger) to track the row level data manipulation language (DML) changes made in tables. And then store the modified rows in the target table.

So I'm looking forward to your guidance.

Thanking you.

with regards,
Praveen

The best and most flexible way is via Goldengate.

https://docs.oracle.com/goldengate/c1230/gg-winux/GGCON/introduction-oracle-goldengate.htm

But there is a license cost with that.

An alternative you might want to consider is Flashback Data Archive, eg
