oracle FGA complex query - not logged

Hi,
I created an FGA policy:
begin
dbms_fga.add_policy (
object_schema=>'DAD',
object_name=>'HOSPITAL_DATA_ICD10',
policy_name=>'HOSP_ACCESS',
statement_types=> 'SELECT'
);
end;

select * from dba_audit_policies
where object_schema='DAD';

OBJECT_SCHEMA OBJECT_NAME POLICY_NAME ENABLED SEL INS UPD DEL AUDIT_TRAIL POLICY_COLUMN_OPTIONS
DAD HOSPITAL_DATA_ICD10 HOSP_ACCESS YES YES NO NO NO DB+EXTENDED ANY_COLUMNS

A simple query such as:
select * from dad.hospital_data_icd10
where rownum < 6;
is logged:

See snippet from log file:
select * from dad.hospital_data_icd10 where rownum < :"SYS_B_0" #1(1):6

But a more complex query:

is not logged.

Is it because of the join?

>>It is not logged because the audited table is referenced in a subquery

Not true at least in 10gR2.

Check the test case below. I show two audit records when it's done.

Note: My database user is BUD.

drop table tab1 purge;
create table tab1(col1 char(1));
insert into tab1 values('a');
commit;


exec DBMS_FGA.DROP_POLICY('BUD', 'TAB1', 'FGA_EMP');
exec DBMS_FGA.ADD_POLICY( -
         object_schema   => 'BUD', -
         object_name     => 'TAB1', -
         policy_name     => 'FGA_EMP', -
         statement_types => 'SELECT', -
         audit_trail     => DBMS_FGA.DB);

delete from sys.fga_log$;

SELECT policy_name, object_name, statement_type, os_user, db_user FROM dba_fga_audit_trail;

select col1 from (select col1 from tab1);
select 'Hello' from dual where dummy in (select col1 from tab1);

SELECT policy_name, object_name, statement_type, os_user, db_user FROM dba_fga_audit_trail;

I tried your test program and it worked for me as well. So if it is not the subquery - then why doesn't it audit my table?

slightwv (䄆 Netminder)

I'm away from my test database right now so cannot run code. What appears different between your config and my test?

See if you can make your look like mine and get your working OR make mine like yours and no longer work.

I can break yours by...
select col1 from (select col1 from tab1 left outer join dual on 1 = 1);

In 10g this will not be logged, however this works for me in 11g.

Now what?!? For some reason - I am not getting the SQL_Text for any queries on TAB1 in both 10g and 11g. Although FGA is picking up SQL text for other queries. Why would it not show me the select statement even Select * from tab1; The select event is logged but not the SQL_TEXT - that is null.

SELECT policy_name, object_name, statement_type, sql_text, os_user, db_user FROM dba_fga_audit_trail where object_schema = 'PIERCECL' and object_name = 'TAB1';
