You wish to enable an audit policy for all database users, except SYS, SYSTEM, and SCOTT.
You issue the following statements:SQL> AUDIT POLICY ORA_DATABASE_PARAMETER EXCEPT SYS;
SQL> AUDIT POLICY ORA_DATABASE_PARAMETER EXCEPT SYSTEM;
SQL> AUDIT POLICY ORA_DATABASE_PARAMETER EXCEPT SCOTT;
For which database users is the audit policy now active?
A.
All users except SYS
B.
All users except SCOTT
C.
All users except sys and SCOTT
D.
All users except sys, system, and SCOTT
Explanation:
If you run multiple AUDIT statements on the same unified audit policy but specify different EXCEPT users, then
Oracle Database uses the last exception user list, not any of the users from the preceding lists. This means the
effect of the earlier AUDIT POLICY … EXCEPT statements are overridden by the latest AUDIT POLICY …
EXCEPT statement.
Note:
* The ORA_DATABASE_PARAMETER policy audits commonly used Oracle Database parameter settings. By
default, this policy is not enabled.
* You can use the keyword ALL to audit all actions. The following example shows how to audit all actions on the
HR.EMPLOYEES table, except actions by user pmulligan.
Example Auditing All Actions on a Table
CREATE AUDIT POLICY all_actions_on_hr_emp_pol
ACTIONS ALL ON HR.EMPLOYEES;
AUDIT POLICY all_actions_on_hr_emp_pol EXCEPT pmulligan;
