I am using the table 'dba_objects' to monitor changes on tables and
even though I checked the Oracle Documentation I could not understand
the difference of columns 'timestamp' and 'last_ddl_time' in the above
table.

Could somebody help me with this?

Hi, Christos,

If you try a DDL that does *not* change the table specification, such
as GRANT SELECT ON yourtable TO SYSTEM, LAST_DDL_TIME will be current
and TIMESTAMP remains the same. For a view or other dependent objects,
a DDL like ALTER COMPILE would show the difference for these two
columns.
