Hi Martin,

There is no concept of retention time in the Oracle built in audit trail; it is up to you to do everything such as purge, archive, manage, report....

I did a short paper on Oracle core audit for Security focus about 6 years ago but its still relevant. You can find a link in my white papers page http://www.petefinnigan.com/orasec.htm

Kind regards

pete
