Oracle: Auditing auf Statement-Ebene einschalten

Ich hatte schon öfters die Anforderung, auf Statement-Ebene Auditing einzuschalten. Also z.B. in einem Logon-Trigger die Umgebung des Users abzuchecken und anhand dessen zu entscheiden, ob Auditing notwendig ist oder nicht.

Oracle Critical Patch Update April 2008 – First Tests

During the last days we have tested the CPU very intensively.
Some information about it:

I recommend applying it, if you use Oracle Application Express (APEX) 3.0. Because on iDefense it is described, how easy a security hole can vulnerable.
You can upgrade to APEX 3.1 too.
This is the first CPU without need for a newer version of [...]
