What happens when the current audit table is full?

When the current audit table is full:

  1. The audit process attempts to insert the next audit record into the table. This fails, so the audit process terminates. An error message is written to the error log.

  2. When a user attempts to perform an auditable event, the event cannot be completed because auditing cannot proceed. The user process terminates. Users who do not attempt to perform an auditable event are unaffected.

  3. If you have login auditing enabled, no one can log in to the server except a system security officer.

  4. If you are auditing commands executed with the sso_role active, the system security officer cannot execute commands.
