Oracle Database 12c: Installation and Administration — Question 130

In your production database, data manipulation language (DML) operations are executed on the SALES table.
You have noticed some dubious values in the SALES table during the last few days. You are able to track users, actions taken, and the time of the action for this particular period but the changes in data are not tracked. You decide to keep track of both the old data and new data in the table long with the user information.
What action would you take to achieve this task?

Answer options

• A. Apply fine-grained auditing.
• B. Implement value-based auditing.
• C. Impose standard database auditing to audit object privileges.
• D. Impose standard database auditing to audit SQL statements.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because value-based auditing allows you to keep track of changes in data values alongside user information. Other options, such as A, C, and D, do not specifically address the need to monitor changes in data values, which is essential for your requirement.
