Robert, Well put. I still have and use the documentation that came automatically with Oracle 7 rel7.1. Printed word especially in the older oracle versions was easier to understand and you were able to find the answer you needed. Have you tried to look up the command format for the ALTER

How do I turn this auditing on? Something like 'Audit drop on scott.emp'. Is it possible? I am thinking, not. There are hundreds of users in the database, and I dont wish to turn full auditing on for all these users. How about 'AUDIT DELETE ANY TABLE BY ACCESS WHENEVER SUCCESSFUL;'?? This

Thanks Doug. But doesn't the product_user_profile only work for connections using SQL*Plus? Anyway, they figured out it was a temporary table, which was dropped and recreated by a batch job being run daily. But I just figured out there's no way to audit drop and truncate statements executed

This is true for all new features from 7.1 and onwards. Apps 11i has been CBO'ed, so when recursive SQL statements are also CBO'ed I would assume there's only the rest of the world and their applications to worry about ;-). Mogens Boivin, Patrice J wrote: All I know is that the RBO doesn't

RE: Fav. Urban Legend... (Memory vs. Disk speeds)

2002-03-19 Thread Aschenbrenner, Alan
The memory vs. disk speed argument most likely stems from hardware access times. Memory is rated in nanoseconds (10E-9), and disk access times are in milliseconds (10E-6). Hence, memory is rated at 1000 times faster than disk (if these ratings are accurate...). Alan Alan Aschenbrenner
