CREATE TABLE DBChangeHistory AS 
SELECT SYSDATE CHANGE_DATE, ALL_SOURCE.*
FROM   ALL_SOURCE

--You can modify this code to store Version number
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER tgTrackDBChange
AFTER CREATE ON SCOTT.SCHEMA
DECLARE

  IF ORA_DICT_OBJ_TYPE in ('PROCEDURE', 'FUNCTION',
                           'PACKAGE',   'PACKAGE BODY',
                           'TYPE',      'TYPE BODY')
  THEN     
     INSERT INTO DBChangeHistory
     SELECT sysdate, all_source.* 
  FROM ALL_SOURCE
     WHERE  TYPE = ORA_DICT_OBJ_TYPE
  AND  NAME = ORA_DICT_OBJ_NAME;
