I have an update Query which will update one field . It updates say five thousand records.

How can I compare the preimage of these values with the post image. Like if

i was having X previously and now I have changed it to Y how will I find out that X was changed to Y .

I did achieve this using temporary table but is there any other way like creating savepoint etc. or transaction etc.

This is an example of update.
If you've got another solution for this let me know.
Thanks,

FROM SQL*PLUS SESSION EXECUTE THE
FOLLOWING COMMAND

SQL>execute dbms_application_info.set_module('app3','UPDATE ABC3');
SQL>UPDATE ABC1 SET Y1 = 3;
4 rows updated.
----DO NOT COMMIT
---NOW QUERY THE DYNAMIC PERFORMNANCE VIEW
----V$SQLAREA
SQL>select sql_text from v$sqlarea
2* where sql_text like 'UPDATE%';
---NOW YOU SEE
SQL_TEXT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE ABC SET Y1 = 2
UPDATE ABC SET Y1 = 3
