You can track the sql which is doing DML while redo being generated. Look at v$sqlarea or v$sql.

Hi, list. Ya, I'm still alive and kickin'.

We have this small database that's running a weird vendor application. (We get all the gems.) It's on Solaris 5.8, Oracle 8.1.7.2

The database suddenly went from kicking out 50 meg redo logs 2 or 3 times a day to churning them out every 15 minutes. The entire database is only about 6 gigs; we now sometimes generate 2 or 3 gigs of redo per day.

Even tho this started when a "small" change was made by the vendor, the vendor is claiming that (ok, hold on to your hats) it was not their change!!

I want to know what's in those redo logs.

I initially thought about log miner. However, I'm not sure log miner will give me what I want.

I tried these 2 audit commands. I'm not seeing much from them. Is there another audit command that might give me better info? There's only 1 user in the database, so I only really need to audit 1 user.

audit all by <myuser> by access;
audit update table, insert table, delete table by <myuser> by access;

Is there anything else that will be going to redo that I can capture with audit??

Thanks for any help.

Barb
