If you dump a small redo log, you should find 
that the 4th redo vector of the first redo record
of every transaction is a transaction audit 
record.  In 8.1.7.3, I think this is still going
to include data in all the fields marked, and
can easily be a couple of hundred bytes long.

In 9i, it's only the first record of the session that
has all the data, then every other record has only
the session number and serial number, so the overhead
is much smaller.

If you do a very large number of very small 
transactions (e.g. batch load via single row 
commits) the impact on the redo log can be
significant. In more normal processing the 
overhead tends to have low visibility.
 
session number   = 9 
serial  number   = 14 
current username = {...} 
login   username = {...} 
client info      = 
OS username      = {...}
Machine name     = {...}
OS terminal      = {...}
OS process id    = {...} 
OS program name  = {...}
transaction name =

Subject: Transaction_audit FALSE


Piggybacking off DDL Audit thread....

I unset the transaction_auditing parameter to reduce redo logs and saw
essentially no
change in redo size generated.
