This  ENABLE_DDL_LOGGING parameter has been introduced in oracle 12c.

If this ENABLE_DDL_LOGGING is enabled,then DDL records are written to the ADR.
All DDL operations like alter/create/drop/truncate objects. Only drop user will be logged, But create user will not be.

Enable the parameter:

SQL> show parameter enable_ddl_logging  
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
 ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
 enable_ddl_logging                   boolean     FALSE


 SQL> alter system set enable_ddl_logging=true;  
System altered.
  
SQL>  show parameter enable_ddl_logging  
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE 
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------ 
enable_ddl_logging                   boolean     TRUE  

 

Do some DDL operations:

SQL> create user raj identified by raj;  
User created.  

SQL>  create table raj.t8 (n number);  
Table created.  

SQL> drop user raj cascade;  
User dropped.  

 

 

Check the log:

 

cd /u02/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/cdborcl/cdborcl/log/ddl
[oracle@localhost ddl]$ more log.xml <msg time=’2014-07-10T01:52:00.323-04:00′ org_id=’oracle’ comp_id=’rdbms’  msg_id=’kpdbLogDDL:15115:2946163730′ type=’UNKNOWN’ group=’diag_adl’ level=’16’ host_id=’usa0300lx574′ host_addr=’13.129.131.42′ version=’1′>
<txt>create table raj.t8 (n number) </txt> </msg> <msg time=’2014-07-10T01:53:18.329-04:00′ org_id=’oracle’ comp_id=’rdbms’ 36  msg_id=’kpdbLogDDL:15115:2946163730′ type=’UNKNOWN’ group=’diag_adl’ level=’16’ host_id=’usa0300lx574′ host_addr=’13.129.131.42′> <txt>drop user raj cascade </txt> </msg>
Here we can see All ddl stmts are logged,  Except the create user command.
