Dennis, Rather than what you do not want to know (or what not to audit) you should come up with the requirements of what you want to know or what you want to audit.

Need to turn on auditing for a high-volume OLTP database. My understanding is that if I turn on AUDIT TABLE, it gets everything. I don't need to know all the inserts, updates on these tables. Is there a simpler audit setting? I probably am missing a concept. Thanks, Dennis Williams
