I've been looking at auditing and fine-grained auditing, and it seems that the lowest level of auditing supported is at the STATEMENT level.

Is this right? Is it possible to perform ROW LEVEL auditing on a table?

We have a regulatory requirement to load a privacy database with a log record per accessed row. This seems unlikely and non-scalable to me, as a full-table-scanwould load the entire table into the privacy database. Scary!

YES.

Fine-grained auditing is an excellent tool for tracking changes to individual rows and columns of data within database tables and views

But I think that "row level" is misleading.

My understanding is that you can TARGET an individual row for auditing, so that if a statement acts upon that row, the statement is audited.

When a statement is audited, I want to know all of the rows that it hit.

To put it another way, FGA appears only to create at most one audit row per audit policy per statement. I want many audit rows per audit policy per statement.
