Chapter 11 Oracle Fine Grained Auditing
method does not require any extensive
reorganization of table.
A suggestion of archival and purging can be
obtained from the same topic in Chapter 8 on Oracle Auditing.
Conclusion
In this chapter, we saw how to use a very
powerful tool called Fine Grained Auditing (FGA), introduced in
Oracle 9i, to record SELECT statements issued by users. The auditing
can be limited to events triggered by specific values in the
selected data, or in the specific columns selected, giving the tool
a distinct edge in specialized auditing, which was otherwise
impossible.
We also saw how to extend the functionality of
the tool to cases where the database user is not relevant, such as
in case of application-authenticated users. Using application
contexts and client identifiers, we learned to capture the
statements, too.
Finally, we saw how to use another valuable
tool provided by Oracle 9i, Flashback Queries, to identify not only
what the user wanted to see, but what he or she actually saw at that
time. This makes it possible to assign accountability to an even
greater degree. With this chapter, we complete the section on
auditing.
So far, we have explored the various features
and tools within Oracle related to security and auditing. In the
next chapter, we will bring all the previous chapters together to
see how the tools can be used to achieve the security and auditing
requirement specifically from the HIPAA perspective.
