i enabled auditing by setting

audit_trail=db,extended in spfile,and restart the database and after that i issued command to audit as below :
audit select on emp by access;

but how to see audit log information(ie from which table),i checked dba_audit_trail but it doesnot have any record.

Kindly suggest.

Are you sure you have enabled the audit trail? You need to cheeck this:
select value from v$parameter where name='audit_trail';

and have you actually enabled the auditing:
select owner,object_name from,sel DBA_OBJ_AUDIT_OPTS;

and lastly, have you selected from the table yet?

[update: one other possibility, are you testing this as SYS? If so, don't! Test it as some other user. To audit SYS, you need to set AUDIT_SYS_OPERATIONS.]

As you don't know what is the problem you CANNOT explain us what you exactly did and you CANNOT interpret it corectly, so use SQL*Plus and copy and paste your session, the WHOLE session.

Before, Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code, use code tags and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
