RE: OT RE: How do you audit a DBA?

Wow, that's certainly a compliment, but isn't it Lara?

Joe,

Having worked with Lisa for a short time, I can attest to the fact that she does bear somewhat of a resemblence to Laura Croft.

However, don't look for her starring in an action movie any time soon. After all, she is gimping around : )

It's shocking to me that you would consider such a thing, Young Joseph!

     DBA-cam now there's a kewl concept :)

     Then we can see what the goddess's desk looks like.

     Whether Lisa looks like Laura or not, etc.

     This has serious potential

     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
