Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> OT RE: How do you audit a DBA?
I think i see where this thread is going.
You'd better audit change to the trigger that audits changes to the data
that
audits the DBA that you don't trust.
Maybe throwing another trigger at it will help?
Maybe installing a 24x7 "DBA-cam" above his cube?
Maybe feeding him a higher grade of "DBA Food Pellets" would
cut down on theft?
Maybe regular sodium pentathol for lunch followed by "re-interviews"
on a weekly basis?

you'd better audit changes to the trigger, and then changes to SYS.AUD$
otherwise the DBA could disable the trigger, make the changes and re-enable it
