Actually, if my company is any indication it's not a matter of whether they think the DBA can be trusted it's a matter of being afraid of being sued if *everything* isn't monitored and audited.  

Our audit department's current target is the IS Unix Admin group. They're insisting that expensive 3rd party software be installed since Unix isn't a secure operating system (root can do anything).

C'mon. I'd vote for The Rock instead, along with all The Rock's "witty" comments. That would be awfully darn distracting, and you could be sure your DBA would get NOTHING done :)

Honestly, if there's a need to audit the dba, maybe he or she should be replaced? Just curious.

Can you smell... what huge awful mess the DBA... is cooking?

Sorry, couldn't resist

        I have all of them save two, one of which was mailed to me last week...

        I think I have way too many Conan novels, it's like Harlequin for men!

        I have many double copies, I think I'll post them on eBay eventually to get
rid of them.
