RE: Griping about auditing (not the Oracle Kind)

That's actually a good idea. We can control the world by taking over all the data. We will be so powerful. :)

A non-DBA? Is that because we stick together like the Mafia or something?!

We've been through an internal audit and I was just wondering if anyone else
has to deal with the rather ludicrous requirements I now have. In order to
add or resize a datafile I now need to fill out a form and get Senior VP approval and the alert logs must be reviewed every day by a non-DBA in order
to be certain that I didn't make any database changes without such approval.
The auditors were horrified to discover that not only did I do such things
whenever I thought them necessary but that we didn't have a non-DBA review
everything I did after an Oracle upgrade to ensure I didn't install any other software.
Fortunately I managed to convince them that yes, I really did need a Unix
login (they were skeptical).

So, any similar horror stories?
