No we cannot create trigger on select statement, we can create trigger only on insert / update / delete

Also check Syntax for trigger

Create or replace trigger <trigger_name>

before/after  insert/update/delete

This shows only after insert, update or delete trigger will get fire not on select statement.

Triggers are always created on DML statements i.e Insert/update/delete only .. not on the select statement

Hello,

No its Possible to have a DDL commands in a Trigger but this has been included from Oracle 8i version, prior to this you can only have DML Commands placed inside the Trigger Block.

As far as Select is concerned there is no good reason to prohibit the user or put constraints while viewing the data, and if so the views are used for very well that purpose only.

Hello

Someone has given answer that use dbms_fga
but it's not a write answer becoz it's used for keeping the track
which user has applied select operation on table.

It's one king of policy that is used for security purpose.

We can create trigger for DDL and DML statements.

May be it is better to trace a select statment with on logon trigger.
like:

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER SYS.ON_LOGON_ALL

AFTER LOGON ON DATABASE

WHEN (

USER = 'MAX'

)

BEGIN

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE=TRUE';

--EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'alter session set events ''10046 trace name context forever, level 12''';

EXCEPTION

WHEN OTHERS THEN

NULL;

END;
