Hi Tom,

I have set the audit trail to db, extended. Then i have enabled the audit for user "test" as "drop any table by test by access". But the audit records for any tables drop by user "test" is not recorded on audit table. Also same for drop procedure, enabled audit trail as "AUDIT drop any procedure BY test BY ACCESS". But the audit record for any packages drop by user "test" is not recorded on audit table. Also i have test the same case on Oracle Version "22.2.0.1", but not working. Is there any other ways to enable the audit for drop/truncate tables, drop packages by specific user only??, please guide us for same.

I suspect that is a likely cause (and how to resolve)
