I am trying to find out if there is a definite way to find out (by querying database) which database users have been created by Oracle (either during installation or as part of patching or adding new feature) and which database users have been created by DBAs.
I have looked into the documentation but could not find anything relevant. Ideally, I would like to know if this can be done for any versions starting from 9iR2.
I frequently need to run queries to do things like sum space used by each schema, but excluding all of the default system users. Is there a better way to identify the default users than listing all 30 of them in a "not in" expression? For example in sql server to query user databases you just say "with database_ id > 4". Is there something simple like that in Oracle to identify all default users?
How to import dump into specific tablespace instead of default tablespace users.
I want to import my dump file to newly created tablespace ,so how can i do that . I have created new user called cvm and while creating it i mentioned default tablespace to newly created tablespace . But when i try to import my dumo file it goes to users tablespace .
I'm working on a client-server application that uses ODBC to connect Windows XP or Windows 7 PCs to an Oracle 11 database. I use a dedicated account to connect to Oracle, and I get the users Windows login name using the call shown in the title. I use the Windows login name to verify that they can access my application. I've been asked by security conscious folks in our IT department how this information is obtained
My question is: where does Oracle get the value of the users Windows login name? Is it coming from a windows registry key? Environment variable? I heard that it's possible that the ODBC driver is calling a Microsoft Win32 function like GetUserName or GetUserNameEx to retrieve the user ID.
During installation of a database Oracle creates several users. Also when using DBCA in a later stage to add more options Oracle can create more users.
Here's my problem: Public synonyms never get exported using exp(dp)/imp(dp) utility. Ofcourse using public synonyms isn't good practise, but sometimes handy. Unfortunately in our environment they have been used a lot in the passed.
So I want to create an SQL statement that does the trick and returns only all users that were NOT created by Oracle software.
I've tried several things, but can't seem to distinguish Oracle users from Manually created users.
I want to drop some users in Oracle DB using sqlplus but I am getting error:
SQL> DROP USER test CASCADE; DROP USER test CASCADE * ERROR at line 1: ORA-01940: cannot drop a user that is currently connected.But when I ran below command to know sessions connected I am not getting any results:
SQL> select sid,serial# from v$session where username = 'test';
I Just got Oracle 9i installed. But can not login . What are the Default username and password for "Oracle9i Discoverer Administrator" and other Developers Suite apps?
Also What URL should i type to access the "iSQL *PLUS" through my browser, so that i can execute my SQL statements.
I have a table called cust_file, his table consists of a lot of columns (one of these columns called cus_tax) and have a lot of data,I use oracle 11g, I want to change the default value of the column cus_tax to be equal 1, I wrote
ALTER TABLE cust_file MODIFY(cus_tax DEFAULT 1); table alteredbut
after I inserted new data to test the operation, I found that the new record has a value
= null for the column cus_taxthen
I tested using the following query select
data_default from all_tab_columns where table_name='CUST_FILE' and column_name='CUS_TAX'; no rows selected...
I am looking for a query which can select all existing Oracle predefined users and roles from db.I need it because one of my other scripts needs to know a given user name or role is a customised one or a system one.It looks like sys.user$ does not have any column that can be used to distinguish predefined users/roles.
I could find all the list of Oracle predefined users and roles by googling and hardcoded them in a query. I can also collect all the customised users and roles as well. However, I prefer a query which can automatically reports that and minimise the maintenance cost as new names and roles, either Oracle predefined or customised, may come out at anytime.
OS: RHEL 5.7 64 bit DB: 11.2.0.2 Standard Edition 64 bit
Everyday EOD is run and after the eod, users are requesting to receive a mail confirming the same from the database. For this we need to configure automated email which will be sent to a list of users email ID immediately after the EOD is done.
I installed Oracle 11g and created a test database in that the default count should be 4196... but it is 4143.. some packages are missing.. even when i'm creating materialized view it is showing some error that packages are missing. what can i do for that? Is my oracle s/w corrupted ? even when i downloaded from oracle site it also shows the same count.
I am trying the new Oracle 12c and its feature to create columns with the keyword IDENTITY. I create a table CREATE TABLE xt (a NUMBER GENERATED by default AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY, b VARCHAR2(10));
And populate it, sometimes specifying the value for a and sometimes relying on the system to generate the value:
INSERT INTO xt (b) values ('a');INSERT INTO xt (b, a) values ('b', default);INSERT INTO xt (b, a) values ('c', 3);INSERT INTO xt (b) values ('d');INSERT INTO xt (b) values ('e');
The problem is that the fourth INSERT fails because the system tries to use the value 3 which is already taken. The fifth statement gets the value 4.
And the table now contains: A B - -1 a 2 b 3 c 4 e Is there something I am missing? I understood that by specifying BY DEFAULT, I would be allowed to sometimes specify values on my own without them interfering with the generated values. I now that the same thing works correctly in MySQL (where I would get five rows from 1 to 5 with the same INSERT statements) /nikos
I need to copy more than 1000 database users(without objects) from orcle 9i to oracle 11g. They don't allow to use any graphical tools.which is the best way to complete this task? does conventional export /import works for only users only ?
Using Apex 4.1 and custom authentication based on Oracle Database users.
I want to be able to show a warning immediately after a user logs in if their password is due to expire in xx days. Oracle raises a warning (ORA-28002) but I don't know how to handle that from the standard Apex login page.
When I join LicenseHistory,Users,UserDetails, all records are unique.
But the issues is: LicenseHistory table has duplicate records for DeployId column which is used to join table Deploybase. As a result when I join it to Deploybase, it gives me repeating entries which I don't want
I want Comments from LicenseHistory,Login from Users and User_name from UserDetails. There are multiple columns from 1st table i.e. Deploybase which I need.After reading on Exists operator, I made following query.
Select DeployId,comment from (select comments as comment,deploy_id as DeployId from LicenseHistory slh where exists (select deploy_id from symdb.symdb_deploybase sdb) and slh.comments is not null)
Above query gives me results from LicenseHistory table only. But I don't know how to add tables Users,UserDetails
I would like to extract the user rights from the ERP that I use with SQL/Oracle.
There are 3 databases. The first gives me all the users with the main key id_user. The second one gives me the actions with the main key id_action. The third one only gives me what the user can't do.
I would like to know all the actions that all users can do or not.
I want to ask for a password from the user so they can access their account, however I want the password to have constraints on it. For example I want the user input to between 6 and 12 characters in length containing at least one number and one letter.
I've been issuing commands like these by using a session on my guest Oracle VM that is hosted by Windows 8.
sqlplus / as sysdba create user PocketGuide3rdEd identified by top-secret-password ; grant connect to PocketGuide3rdEd ; grant create table to PocketGuide3rdEd ; grant create view to PocketGuide3rdEd ; grant create trigger to PocketGuide3rdEd ; grant create sequence to PocketGuide3rdEd ; grant unlimited tablespace to PocketGuide3rdEd ;
I've discovered that I cannot do "sqlplus / as sysdba" remotely. Is there a way I can create another account like sysdba that can issue the above commands from windows so I don't have to log into the oracle guest VM?
Are you aware of any "Best Practice Document" to grant select accesses to users on databases. These users are developers which select data out of database for the investigation and application bug fix.
From time to time user want more and more access to different tables so that they can do investigation properly.
The users are getting an error when connecting to the DB. I'm also not able to connect thru sqlplus . I get the message
$ sqlplus "/as sysdba"
