Securing data from Database Admin



Is there a way we can secure data within (Oracle 9i) database? Supposingly there is an application developed by internal developers and it's backend database is administered by a DB Admin. There is no segregation of duties between development and live environments due to resource constraints.

Is there a way data can be protected from being revealed to or being tempered by DB Admin? He would only be called in when there's some kind of malfunction that too under the watchful eyes of project team leader.

Any thoughts to bring in preventive/detective controls over DB Admin activities?
