How do you read the Oracle transaction log
18,761
There is LogMiner which is SQL based (and so you could access through JDBC).

Or you can look at Oracle Streams which reads the logs and generates 'logical change messages' into a queue from the log contents.

Instead of placing triggers on tables everywhere in an Oracle database, is there a Java API that I can use to read transactions off the Oracle transaction log?
My purpose is to be able to detect transactions going into a proprietary(vendor) database and react accordingly. We can't modify the database so that we do not void our maintenance contract.
Please help!
