We avoid using SYS as much as we can, but we use SYSTEM ... cautiously I might add.

QOTD: Any clod can have facts, having an opinion is an art ! -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 3:05 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L We are being asked by Auditing to stop using the SYS, and SYSTEM accounts. They would like for us to create an Oracle Role with the same permissions a SYS and SYSTEM, then grant the role to each of the DBA's. Don't ask me why. Nothing is being audited in 99% of the databases. They just say it in a paper some where so they said we shouldn't use it. This seems like it would cause lots of problems with exports, imports, installs, etc... Has anyone had to deal with this type of request? Any potential problems with making the change? Thanks!
