<conjecture> Most Oracle upgrades are mandated by conditions of "fixed time to upgrade independent of database size". Oracle doesn't know if you've got 100's of gig's of audit data so it would not be prudent to move it as part of the upgrade process, so it has to stay where it is (wherever that may be). </conjecture> However, I agree that it should be supported to relocate to SYSAUX once a db is installed. Interestingly, one of the Metalink notes about pre-reqs for upgrade to 10 is to ensure AUD$ is in SYSTEM if auditing is enabled during the process. hth connor --- Paul Drake <bdbafh@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > It was my understanding that the segment sys.aud$ would be created in > the sysaux tablespace in 10g. > I guess I assumed too much. > > 10.1.0.3 Std Ed lin32 > RHEL 3.0 ES Update 2 (current) > > sys.aud$ is still in the system tablespace, not in sysaux. > checked metalink. > used a search engine. > found no docs covering the SUPPORTED altering of this. > > Does anyone know if it is supported by Oracle to move this table from > the System tablespace into the sysaux tablespace? > > Paul > -- > //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l > ===== Connor McDonald Co-author: "Mastering Oracle PL/SQL - Practical Solutions" ISBN: 1590592174 web: http://www.oracledba.co.uk web: http://www.oaktable.net email: connor_mcdonald@xxxxxxxxx Coming Soon!
