Choose the Database Identification History option to manage history information about audit-enabled databases by modifying descriptions of audit archive databases (by indicating why a new DB Identifier or DB Passkey was generated, for example). The Database Identification History dialog box appears, and contains the following fields:

  • DB Identifier — Displays the DB Identifier for the selected database
  • DB Description — A description of the selected database
  • Additional Details — A field for entering additional information about the audit archive database (for example, to annotate cycles in the life of the database)
  • Has Passkey — Indicates if the selected database has a passkey assigned to it

When the Data Dictionary opens this dialog box, it lists the DB Identifier of the current _db-detail record first.

Note: Only DBAs may view or edit the information in this dialog box.
