AUDIT TABLE only audits CREATE TABLE, TRUNCATE TABLE and DROP TABLE. It doesn't even audit ALTER TABLE and certainly does not audit query and dml.

Need to turn on auditing for a high-volume OLTP database. My understanding is that if I turn on AUDIT TABLE, it gets everything. I don't need to know all the inserts, updates on these tables. Is there a simpler audit setting? I probably am missing a concept. Thanks, Dennis Williams
