RE: grant access to another user's objects?

Jesse - On another list today someone mentioned that auditors were upset that the DBA had access to the application tables (like payroll tables, for example). I was just curious whether this new feature would eliminate the autitors' concern. I trust you, but man, those auditors are tough.

I'm after the audits as a point of tracking my DDL/DCL as SYSDBA more than for intrusion detection. As you've eluded to, the truly paranoid would add more layers of protection and monitoring via triggers, audit opts, DBMS_JOB/cron jobs, etc. to provide increased accountability and tracking. Since I only have time to be somewhat paranoid, I've only implemented a few of these. :)

And Oracle Support asked me why I would want to audit SYS. ;)
