RE: auditing CREATE DATABASE

Yes, there is. You might notice that someone has issued a "create database" command because all of your data will be gone fishing. When the noise level reaches 500 decibels, someone has issued "CREATE DATABASE" command on your production database, which, of course, no longer exists. System accounting should be able to tell you who has logged in as "oracle" and from which PC. Then you go and publicly execute that person by beating him to the pulp with a baseball bat (so called "Soprano method")
