Welcome to our tutorial series on Oracle Unified Auditing! In this first installment, we’ll delve into the fundamentals of implementing this powerful feature, designed to streamline and centralize the auditing process for all RDBMS operations.
INTRODUCTION
Oracle Unified Auditing, introduced in version 12c, revolutionizes the auditing landscape by consolidating audit trails into a single unified audit trail table. This enhancement simplifies audit management and offers a comprehensive view of all activities within the database.
Prerequisites
Before diving into the implementation of Oracle Unified Auditing, it’s essential to ensure that you have the necessary prerequisites in place. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
