Thanks for thinking of me to help answer your question.

I will try to answer your questions....

1. I do not know how to do this for DDL.
2. As far as I know, the swapping is handled strictly by the underlying
   operating system. The only thing I can think of is to pin packages into the
   SGA. The pinned packages may still swap, though. The bottom line, though,
   is to make sure that you buy more memory to avoid swapping, as it hurts
   performance alot.
3. Although Oracle recommends against fooling around with data dictionary
   objects, it doesn't hurt any if you write triggers on them. So, I'd say
   go ahead and make the triggers.

If you need any more help on these three questions, I would suggest either
contacting Oracle support (if you have it), or posting your question on the
internet (comp.databases.oracle.misc). You can also post it on the newsgroup
via "www.dejanews.com".

Best of luck,
