If the user was not authorized to do these things, then that too would
be the fault of the DBA. Initially, I would guess that the DBA did have
auditing turned on. If it was me and I found that a user was doing
something I didn't want them to do, I would be red faced and fix the
problem rather than espouse security issues.
