RE: Oracle Database Auditing

Auditing is a functionality which keep track of all the activity happening to DB

There are two type of auditing in Oracle

1 Standard Auditing
2. Fine grained Auditing

The standard Auditing is again divided by Statement Privilege and Object.

Statement - Tracks all action on any type of objects
Privilege - Tracks action on system level
Object - Track action on all the objects (table update delete etc)

Enabling Audit Audit_Trail True in int.ora file

Audit can be of os db db & extended etc.

Dba_audit_trail table is data dictionary table gives information on audit.

It tracks all the data sent from the forms user to the server and from the server.
