To disable the auditing feature of Oracle database, you can follow these steps: 1. Log in to the database with SYSDBA privileges. 2. Execute the following command to disable auditing.

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET AUDIT_TRAIL = NONE SCOPE=SPFILE;

This will disable the audit feature when the database is restarted. Reboot the database to apply the changes.

SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
SQL> STARTUP;

4. Confirm if the audit function has been successfully disabled.

SQL> SELECT name, value FROM v$parameter WHERE name = 'audit_trail';

If the returned value is “NONE”, it indicates that the audit function has been successfully disabled. Please note that disabling the audit function may violate some compliance requirements, so careful consideration and evaluation should be done before disabling it.
