Am I loosing something here by not using the dbms_audit_mgmt package over deleting from sys.aud$ directly? The adump records are managed by a cleanup script that works in all the dump dirs for 10g, and 11g keeps one year by default if I am not mistaken.

So given the choice between the two, I have to be missing something or there would be no reason to go through all that and move the data to a new tablespace to boot>

Joel,

you are right, it's not easy.
Maybe it helps to understand: It's a spin off from Audit Vault, after some iterations and requests Oracle decided to make it available for non-Audit-Vault customers as well.
In my current situation it's quite convenient to implement it at every new created DB - so audit is in place 'just in case' :)
