Audit Database
Type of Auditing
1.Standard Auditing
2.FGA (Fine Grained Auditing)
3.SYS ( sysdba or sysoper)
DBA_AUDIT_EXISTS
lists audit trail entries produced by AUDIT NOT EXISTS.
DBA_AUDIT_OBJECT
contains audit trail records for all objects in the system.
DBA_AUDIT_SESSION
lists all audit trail records concerning CONNECT and DISCONNECT.
DBA_AUDIT_STATEMENT
lists audit trail records concerning GRANT, REVOKE,AUDIT, NOAUDIT, and ALTER SYSTEM statements throughout the database.
DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL or sys.aud$
lists all audit trail entries.
DBA_OBJ_AUDIT_OPTS
describes auditing options on all objects.
DBA_PRIV_AUDIT_OPTS
describes current system privileges being audited across the system and by user.
DBA_STMT_AUDIT_OPTS
describes current system auditing options across the system and by user.
Fine-Grained Auditing
DBA_FGA_AUDIT_TRAIL or sys.fga_log$
SYS ( sysdba or sysoper) Auditing.
Set AUDIT_SYS_OPERATIONS = TRUE for every successful statement from SYS ( sysdba or sysoper) audited.
All audit records for SYS are written to the operating system file that contains the audit trail.
On Windows
audit records are written as events to the Event Viewer log file
On Solaris
AUDIT_FILE_DEST parameter is not specified, the default location is $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/audit.
AUDIT_FILE_DEST is not supported in Windows
audit file name (unix) is named after the "session", like ora-20043.aud

1.Statement Auditing
DDL statements. As an example, AUDIT TABLE audits all CREATE and DROP TABLE statements. SQL> truncate table aud$;
Table truncated.
1.audit table by access;
BOTH successful or not successful statement
2.audit table by access whenever successful;
SUCCESSFUL statement only
3.audit table by access whenever not successful;
NOT SUCCESSFUL statement only
4.audit table by SESSION;
Oracle to write a single record for all SQL statements of the same type issued in the same session.
5.audit table by ACCESS;
Oracle to write one record for each access.
6.audit select any table by access;
all statements issued by users with the SELECT ANY TABLE privilege are audited.
7.audit [select any table / table ] by USER/SCHEMA;
specific user/schema audit.
8.audit session;
To audit all successful and unsuccessful connections to and disconnections from the database, regardless of user, BY SESSION
9.audit delete any table;
10.audit update any table;
11.audit select table, insert table, delete table, execute prodedure
by access whenever not successful;
12.audit session;
13.audit connect;
Note : there is no DIFFERENCE between CONNECT or SESSION auditing.
Disable Auditing
1.noaudit table;
2.noaudit alter table;
3.noaudit select any table;
4.noaudit session;
Note : don't use BY SESSION / BY ACCESS with noaudit command.
