Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Griping about auditing (not the Oracle Kind)
A non-DBA? Is that because we stick together like the Mafia or something?!

We've been through an internal audit and I was just wondering if anyone
else
has to deal with the rather ludicrous requirements I now have. In order
to
add or resize a datafile I now need to fill out a form and get Senior VP
approval and the alert logs must be reviewed every day by a non-DBA in
order
to be certain that I didn't make any database changes without such
approval.
The auditors were horrified to discover that not only did I do such
things
whenever I thought them necessary but that we didn't have a non-DBA
review
everything I did after an Oracle upgrade to ensure I didn't install any
other software.
Fortunately I managed to convince them that yes, I really did need a
Unix
login (they were skeptical).
So, any similar horror stories?
