At a guess, the trigger compiled automatically when it was called by an
action that the user did.  Probably generated a create or replace
command by forcing a compile.

Subject: Curious Audit Record

 

I have a DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL record that seems to indicate that a user
successfully created a trigger.  However, that user only has the "CREATE
SESSION" system privilege, along with object privileges granted through
roles.  I'm trying to figure out how this user created or modified the
trigger (which is in another schema).  If I look at DBA_OBJECTS, I see
that the timestamps for the trigger (TIMESTAMP and LAST_DDL_TIME )
correspond to the time when this audit record was created.  So it looks
like the user actually did modify the trigger (which was preexisting).
I couldn't find any audit records that would indicate that the user was
temporarily granted privileges either.  I've tried creating/updating the
trigger in our corresponding test database, but I get the expected
errors (and audit records).  Is there some bug that could possibly be
related to this?  Am I missing some security loophole?  I haven't had
much luck searching Metalink.  Just curious if anybody else has run into
this.

 

We running 9.2.0.7 on AIX.

 

Thank you,

Jay
