Stop auditing select statements issued against SYS objects

BlemonJan 28 2014 — edited Feb 19 2014

Hi,

My current client has a requirement to track destructive updates (i.e. insert, update, delete) issued by users who can connect directly to the database. At the moment though, SELECT statements issued against SYS-owned objects are also being captured to the Oracle audit trail. For the time being at least these need to be disabled.

I've issued NOAUDIT SELECT TABLE/SEQUENCE and NOAUDIT SELECT ANY TABLE/SEQUENCE commands, as has a user with the SYSDBA privilege, and they're still being logged. Is there any way to switch these off? I don't know if it's significant (I'm not a DBA by trade) but the audit_sys_operations parameter is set to True.

My client is currently running Oracle Database 10.2.0.5.0 standard edition.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Steve
