BTW, I know that at least earlier versions of EnterpriseDB's version of

could shed some light on what customers wanted to see an an auditing
feature... (I'm looking at you, Jimbo!)
It's still there, but it's nothing like pgaudit. What I hear is that
our customers are looking for something that has the capabilities of
DBMS_FGA. I haven't researched either that or pgaudit enough to know
how similar they are.
Do they really need the full capabilities of DBMS_FGA? At first glance, it
looks even more sophisticated than anything that's been discussed so far. To
wit (from
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_fga.htm#CDEIECAG):
DBMS_FGA.ADD_POLICY(

object_name VARCHAR2,
policy_name VARCHAR2,
audit_condition VARCHAR2,
audit_column VARCHAR2,
handler_schema VARCHAR2,
handler_module VARCHAR2,

audit_trail BINARY_INTEGER IN DEFAULT,
audit_column_opts BINARY_INTEGER IN DEFAULT);
