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
