Replicating DDL, but only for ALTER TABLE/CREATE TABLE

We're looking to use Streams to replicate our database, for Warehouse use. We're not looking to use any ETL, but rather copy the table structures & data over identically as they appear in the source database. We'll add indexes in a custom step. Otherwise, though, we don't need TRIGGERs, PROCs, VIEWs etc.
Is this possible in Streams? Probably asking if it's possible is the wrong question ... Is this something that is normally done, or does it bring with it a significant amount of complexity, plus some extra things to note (like, "..don't forget TRUNCATE also...")
Thanks,
Chuck

Sorry to bump this one ...
So, if our intent is to copy over all tables in a specified list of shemas, in their current form, and then we wanted to capture:
INSERTs
UPDATEs
DELETEs
TRUNCATE TABLE
ALTER TABLE (but excluding anything related to CONSTRAINTS)
(... I'm thinking that's all we'd need to keep a copy of the main db in the warehouse, without a DBA having to "retouch" the warehouse to keep it in sync ...)
Would that be considered a complicated configuration? The ALTER TABLE piece sounds picky enough, that it could be a headache ... but I'm thinking the Oracle reps were being pushy about the amount effort needed to set this environment up.
