Am I loosing something here by not using the dbms_audit_mgmt package over 
deleting from sys.aud$ directly?   The adump records are managed by a cleanup 
script that works in all the dump dirs for 10g, and 11g keeps one year by 
default if I am not mistaken.

So given the choice between the two, I have to be missing something or there 
would be no reason to go through all that and move the data to a new tablespace 
to boot>

Joel,

you are right, it's not easy.
Maybe it helps to understand: It's a spin off from Audit Vault, after
some iterations and requests Oracle decided to make it available for
non-Audit-Vault customers as well.
In my current situation it's quite convenient to implement it at every
new created DB - so audit is in place 'just in case' :)
