Darren, Couldn't you just open the database with a user that has all the necessary privileges revoked?
-----Original Message----- Browett, Darren Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 3:44 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L We are in the process of upgrading our peoplesoft app, using an oracle database of 8.0.5 to 9i. During the upgrade we still need access to the old 8.0.5 database as readonly. I have read all the doc's but it appears I cannot open the database as read only. Looks like I could if the version was 8i. Does anybody have any pointers on how I could accomplish this. Thanks Darren. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------- Darren Browett P.Eng This message was transmitted Data Administrator using 100% recycled electrons Information and Communication Technology City of Coquitlam P:(604)927 - 3614 E:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------- -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Browett, Darren INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
