SQL> sho parameter audit_sys_operations; NAME TYPE VALUE ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------ audit_sys_operations boolean TRUE I don't think this is the problem since the database next to it also has audit_sys_operations = True but generates no records in sys.aud$. -----Original Message----- From: andrey khudyakov [mailto:andrey.hudyakov@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, March 05, 2010 8:24 AM To: Terrian, Thomas J Mr CTR DLA J6DIB Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Auditing clean slate Please, show parameter audit_sys_operations 2010/3/5 Terrian, Thomas J Mr CTR DLA J6DIB <Tom.Terrian.ctr@xxxxxxx> Version 10.2 I am trying to clean up our sys.aud$ table. I want to clean slate our auditing and start over. I don't want to disable auditing with the audit_trail parameter. I just want to noaudit everything and then selectively turn auditing back on for a few operations. I thought the following would noaudit everything but I am still getting lots of records added to sys.aud$: select 'noaudit '||audit_option||';' from dba_stmt_audit_opts; select 'noaudit '||privilege||';' from dba_priv_audit_opts; select 'noaudit all on '||OWNER||'.'||object_name||';' from dba_obj_audit_opts where object_type in('TABLE','VIEW'); Does anyone have a script to clean slate their auditing? Thanks, Tom Terrian
