Security Management White Papers

Auditing in XML

Overview Oracle Database 10g provides auditing to record the activities of users in the database. When the activities occur (for example, a user updates a certain table), the database records the facts in the audit trails, which can be in the database in a special table called AUD$ in the SYS schema or in special files in the Operating System (OS). When stored in the database, audit trail data is protected by database backups, and it is easy for a DBA to query it by using standard SQL. In Oracle Database 10g Release 2, the OS audit functionality has been extended to create file-based audit trails in standard XML format.
