Before and After insert or update rowcount

Question

Hi
I have several extract objects procs which are calling various build objects procs which in turn are inserting or updating the tables...now when i run these objects sometimes i get no errors and everything seems to be running perfectly but the tables do not get updated ? now what i am trying to achieve here is get some kind of summary where i can see the before and after rowcount..for that i have created a table of every extract object proc and another table with the coressponding tables being updated by tht proc...can anyone pls tell me how should i look into these procs and how do i get the rowcount for a particular table before and after the procedure was run ?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
On which version of RDBMS are you working , because if you're on 10g then just enable auditing or even FGA on the tables were you want to see the changes,
Then query the DBA-AUDIT (not sure of the name anymore) view.
If not then create a audit package yourself.
something like
create or replace package pck$audit as
procedure prc$check_tablecount(p_tablename IN VARCHAR2, p_status IN VARCHAR2);
end;
create or replace package body pck$audit as
procedure prc$check_tablecount(p_tablename IN VARCHAR2,p_status IN VARCHAR2) IS
sqlstr VARCHAR2(100);
v_count NUMBER;
begin
sqlstr := 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM '||p_tablename;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlstr into v_count; --could by 'using v_count' check syntax for this
INSERT INTO audit_table(table_name,total_count,status,time_stamp)
VALUES(p_tablename,v_count,p_status,SYSTIMESTAMP);
COMMIT;
end;
end;
you can elaborate on this creating additional procedure checking differences in total_count on same table at same time.
Now call this procedure before starting your insert-delete- on your table make sure you put the parameters correct eg p_status => 'begin procedure'
and call it again after your commit in your procedure.
Hope this helps you out
