Env: 10.2.0.4 It's my understanding that DBA_PRIV_AUDIT_OPTS audits the use of database privileges (such as SELECT ANY TABLE) and that DBA_STMT_AUDIT_OPTS audits particular statement types. If this is true and I see SELECT ANY TABLE listed in BOTH views, does that mean that SELECTS on ANY TABLE are getting audited as it shows up in DBA_STMT_AUDIT_OPTS? And selects done through the privilege SELECT ANY TABLE are being audited because it shows up in DBA_PRIV_AUDIT_OPTS? There's a subtle difference in the above - it seems that SELECT ANY TABLE in DBA_STMT_AUDIT_OPTS might be showing that ALL selects are being audited, but I'm not sure that's true because I do *not* have SELECT TABLE being audited yet SELECTS are showing up in my audit logs (using OS db audit trail).
