Purge AUD$ table using DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT

edited Jan 21, 2020 1:10PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered ✓

Oracle 11gR2 introduced DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT for managing audit trails. The growth of AUD$ can impact the performance of the database. So purging it regularly is the best practice followed by DBA’s and DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT makes it easier.

As a default location for AUD$ was SYSTEM TBS it was recommended to move this table to dedicated TBS and then Schedule a job to purge AUD$ regularly.

In Oracle 12/18 default location for AUD$ table is SYSAUX. Is recommendation from 11g valid in this case ? Maybe in 12/18 there is better way to maintain AUD$ in reasonable size.

Thx in advance for any tips.

Howdy, Stranger!
