Re: How to find the view modified date and time and user name - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi / AA Ikram,

Probably I will not be able to depend or organize thru pgdumps at this time. I am on Postgres 13.5 / aws-rds.

I am unable to find pgaudit from my client. Do you I need to install any additional sw for pgaudit?

Thanks,

Sarwar

Hi M Sarwar,

If you have some dumps of the database in near past, then you may analyze those and note till what time view was in original state (May be narrowing down on things)

As some geek said above, this incident can serve as a lesson learnt and, for future you can configure pgAudit to capture all DDLs or set a log level that captures ddls e.g. log_statement = ddl

Hi Tom,

I do not have DDL logs. 

Are you saying that I should have manually maintain it or are you referring to any existing logs on the database side?

This is taken very seriously by our architect. This guy behaves like everything like auditor, Project Manager or whatever we can think of. 🙂

A simple solution I used was to do a schema only dump daily and check in any changes into a git repo via a cronjob  Then the repo will track schema changes.
