Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer readable media for automatically generating Data Definition Language (DDL) commands from database log information is described. In general, techniques are disclosed for analyzing database log entries to identify those associated with targeted DDL commands and associating those entries with a DDL command object. The DDL command object may be used (immediately or at some later time) to generate a DDL commands corresponding to the (possibly many) aggregated log records associated with the command object. The use of multiple database log entries as described herein enables the generation of DDL commands that capture database activity occurring over a period of time (full time context auditing) and can, therefore, naturally account for database schema changes.
