Find username, which edited the feature

Hello.

How can I find the username, which last time edited the feature (example: OID=234)?
ArcGIS version: 10.1
Database: ORACLE 11g R2

I would think you would need to trap that information at the time of an edit; I use a trigger in SQL server, described here.

Doesn't v10.1 have a built in utility to track edits and who made them?

I hadn't heard about this, so I looked it up. Search for "editor tracking" in the 10.1 help system. In the table of contents, it's located in Editing, Fundamentals of Editing, Editor Tracking. It has to be enabled and the information is stored in the attribute table. Here are the attributes:

The name of the user who created it.

The date and time it was created.

The name of the user who edited it.

The date and time it was last edited.
