No way unless you have audit on all tables.

it may be an option.
But is there no way

or it can be handled by using some sql and PL/sql ...
like we can determine by examining it by listing in the DB Buffer cache i.e what tables are accessed.
We can create the table and then create a trigger on it which will check the access tables from the buffer cache and insert it into the table and if it exists then ignore......

Can it be an option....

No. Some table blocks may be aged out the buffer cache before you see there are in.

By the way, your application should normally be able to say which tables they used.

Another way is to remove access to all tables and see what problems come.
