Is there any way to be notified when a user executes data definition

This topic really deserves a FAQ entry.

You can set "log_statement=ddl" and see a log of them that way: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/runtime-config-logging.html#GUC-LOG-STATEMENT

Setup CSV format logs and you can even import that into a database table, appropriate log rotation is needed to give you breakpoints to import at though.

The other common idiom here to detect changes is to save the output from "pgdump -s" regularly and look for changes via diff.
