As of yet I'm unsure how the application would be affected if I rename the role - I need to do some investigation.
I tried this in Oracle 8 and it worked fine - It just seems to be oracle 9 that doesn't like it. I've also checked v$reserved_words and INTERNAL is not listed, INTERNAL_USE and INTERNAL_CONVERT are. As a test I created roles for INTERNAL_USE and INTERNAL_CONVERT, hoping that it would not allow me to create them, but it did, so I then ran the grant again and it also allowed it. Now I'm really confused!! -----Original Message----- Tim Gorman Sent: 18 November 2003 13:34 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Barry, Why make life difficult? It's just a role, not a data object referenced by applications (hopefully). Change it's name to something that is not a "reserved word" and move on. There is a list of "reserved words" in the SQL Language reference.
