Actually I was performing "grant all on table_name to user_name;" to grant the privilege but 1 of my friends suggested "grant all on any table to user_name;"
Say we have db1 and db2 two databases installed on two different servers.For internal needs, I have to insert some data from a table t1 on db1 to a table t2 in db2. This can be done by issuing from a user on db1 :
insert into t2@dblink2 select * from t1;
where dblink2 is a correct database link that points to u2 (the t2 owner for example) on db2.
Now what I want to do is to grant privileges remotely.Is there a way to issue somthing like
I bought Selftestsoftware for 1z0-147 for 9i and 10g. Selftestsoftware is endorsed by Oracle, should be high quality.
But its below sample question and answer seem to be wrong: It says that privilege for subprogram can be granted via role. But from Urman 9i book: the grant the execute privilege must be done explicitly and not through a role.
Did Selftestsoftware made a mistake? Or the question did not mention or assume that the subprogram is based on invoker rights not definer right?
Quote: Question: All users in the HR_EMP role have UPDATE privileges on the EMPLOYEE table. You create the UPDATE_EMPLOYEE procedure. HR_EMP users should only be able to update the EMPLOYEE table using this procedure. Which two statements should you execute? (Choose two.)
GRANT UPDATE ON employee TO hr_emp; GRANT SELECT ON employee to hr_emp; REVOKE UPDATE ON employee FROM hr_emp; REVOKE UPDATE ON employee FROM public; GRANT EXECUTE ON update_employee TO hr_emp;
Explanation: The two statements you should execute are: REVOKE UPDATE ON employee FROM hr_emp; GRANT EXECUTE ON update_employee TO hr_emp;
Unless you are the owner of the PL/SQL construct, you must be granted the EXECUTE object privilege to run it or have the EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE system privilege. By default, a PL/SQL procedure executes under the security domain of its owner. This means that a user can invoke the procedure without privileges on the procedures underlying objects. To allow HR_EMP users to execute the procedure, you must issue the GRANT EXECUTE ON update_employee TO hr_emp; statement. To prevent HR_EMP users from updating the EMPLOYEE table unless they are using the UPDATE_EMPLOYEE procedure, you must issue the REVOKE UPDATE ON employee FROM hr_emp;
All of the other options are incorrect because they will not meet the specified requirements.
have an automated process which runs on an Oracle 8i database server as user abc. This process creates views/tables in other schemas, on the same database server, which point to objects owned by the abc user.
The issue I'm getting is that when I try to execute GRANT SELECT ON xyz.view123 TO PUBLIC as the abc user, I get an insufficient privileges.I should add that the abc user created the xyz.view123 table/view.
What grants/priviliges or whatever do I have to do to the abc schema?

Is it possible to grant a user a percentage amount of a specified tablespace ? for instance granting a user called userx 5% of USERS tablespace. How can I do that ?
I am working on the roles and privs. I want to provide the privs on any object to any user through the roles. not a direct grant.I am having 150 users and 50 roles, I want to do this using the script is few strokes. for this I have tried to create a script but I am not able to make that.
For example There is 2 user scott and test
A. test is having select privs on scott.emp. B. Test is having insert,delete,update privs on scott.emp; c. DB is having 2 roles scott_edit - insert,delete,update privs on tables scott_read - select privs on tables
I want to revoke separate privs from test and want to given only scott_edit and scott_read (which(roles) is having all privs)
Developers they use Toad and in that they want to use session browser option so that they can see the SQL running and open Cursor,other session specific details...So what grant/ permissions can be given to them so that the Schema they logged on can access those information.
My tables are in ers_stg schema and code which collects state on these table are in etls_ers schema, what permission i need in order to get the stats collected from etls_srs schema. i am getting in sufficient privilege error.
Lost Windows password? Forgot Windows password? Your PC was hacked? Therefore, it is a basic step for every Windows users to enhance the security of Windows password. In the networks, it is found that a number of user's passwords are easy to guess. Only the smallest groups are the most security conscious and select passwords that are mixed lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers and punctuation to create cryptic passwords. Adopting strong password is one of the most effective ways to ensure system security. Here are several methods for you to enhance the security of your passwords in Windows 7/2000/XP/Vista and so on. You'd better remember the methods below unless you want to reset Windows password from time to time.
1. Is random password a great password?
A common myth is that totally random passwords like Ht3&e#L%5d@$B are the best passwords. This is not true. While they may be strong passwords, they are usually difficult to remember, slow to type, and sometimes vulnerable to attacks against the password generating algorithm. It is easy to create passwords that are strong but much easier to remember by using a few simple techniques. For example, consider the password "Luck-73@Better?". This password utilizes uppercase and lowercase letters, two numbers, and three symbols. The password is 15 characters long and can be memorized with very little effort. Moreover, this password can be typed very fast. The portion"Luck" and "Better" alternate between left and right-handed keys on the keyboard, improving speed, decreasing typos, and decreasing the chances of someone being able to discover your password by watching you.
2. Create the long Windows password
Although a password may eventually be discovered through some means, it is possible to create a password that cannot be cracked in any reasonable time. If a password is long enough, it will take so long or require so much processing power to crack it. That is essentially the same as being unbreakable (at least for most hackers).
3. Create the Windows password constantly?
This may be good advice for some high-risk passwords, but it is not the best policy for every user. It is frustrating for a user to have to constantly think of and remember new passwords every 30 days. It may be better to focus on stronger passwords and better user awareness rather than limiting password age. A more realistic time for the common user may be 90-120 days.
4. Write down Windows password in a proper place
Sometimes it is necessary for some users losing and forgetting complex passwords easily to write down them somewhere proper. However, it is important to educate users on how to write down passwords properly. Obviously, a sticky note on the monitor is not a good idea, but storing passwords in a safe or even a locked cabinet may be sufficient.
5. 14 characters is the optimal password length
Each character that you add to your password increases the protection. Your passwords should be 8 or more characters in length; 14 characters or longer is the Optimal Password Length. Many systems also support use of the space bar in passwords, so you can create a phrase made of many words. It is not easier to forget and lose, as well as longer than a simple password, and harder to guess.
6. Try not to use the same Windows password for all accounts
Some users always make the same passwords for every account to make it easy to remember. In that case, when any one of them lost, your other information protected by that password will be in danger as well. It is serious to use different passwords for different systems and accounts.
7. Do not use some common words that other users maybe guess
Most of users prefer to use some common words to remember easily, for example, login name, birth date, driver's license, passport number, pets' name and other words contained their personal information someone knows. In that case, your Windows system will not be safe anymore. Moreover, do remember not to use some words spelled backwards, abbreviations, sequences or repeated characters and adjacent letters, such as, asdfgh, 123456, 888888, abcdef and so on.
You can smoothly use your Windows now because the strong and powerful Windows password is created successfully, Certainly, I believe that many users lost Windows password and forgot Windows password, then you need have to reset Windows password or recover Windows password. It is a big problem for plenty of Windows users that how to reset Windows password. how to recover Windows password and they are puzzled by resetting windows password, for instance, reset Windows 7 password, recover password Windows XP, remove Windows Vista password and other operating systems after they create the password with complex letters, numbers and symbols. However, it is unnecessary to worry and it is said that things will eventually sort themselves out. There are many ways to reset forgotten Windows password, including use windows password reset disk and windows password reset software, like Super Windows Password Reset, a professional windows password reset software which could enable you to logon to Windows smoothly without reinstalling system.
In Sybase, my application was using system tables to perform application login security. Those tables obviously don't exist in Oracle. I am looking for ways to provide the following functionality in an Oracle world:
1. How to determine 'x' days of inactivity based on "last login date"?
2. How to determine when a new user logs in for the first time and force them to change their password?
3. If we need to reset a users password, how can we require the user to change their password?
4. Is there any other option other than storing a user-id/password in the application code for locking a user's account if their account needs to be locked due to inactivity?
5. In the USER_USERS view there is a status column. What the different status's can be?
Provide me the script which would track all the users security violations like ... say for example i want to find which users logged in and what he did in database prospective.
how can we mask value of some columns in table? For example: user A is supervisor, he can query salary column in employee table, but for user B, he is staff member, he can query salary column but system just shows ***** or something like that for salary value.
wanted to grant dbms_scheduler permission to the system user in oracle 11.2.0.3,but it is showing insufficient privileges, but my System has Sysdba rights.
SQL> SELECT * FROM v$pwfile_users WHERE sysdba='TRUE'; USERNAME SYSDB SYSOP SYSAS ------------------------------ ----- ----- ----- SYS TRUE TRUE FALSE
[code]....
Revoke succeeded.
SQL> conn system Enter password: Connected.
[code]...
while i ran this query " SQL> select * from session_privs;"
for system user i have 202 rows of different privileges,but the same query for sysdba has 208 rows...
I have a stored procedure which when executed creates a user and grants some roles to the user and also makes certain roles DEFAULT using "alter user"
The issue comes when i execute the procedure.
I have a User who has a role and this role has the "alter user" privilege, for example lets say that the user1 has the role ABC, and role ABC has the "alter user" privilege.
SQL> grant alter user to ABC; Grant succeeded. SQL> grant ABC to user1; Grant succeeded.
Now, when i run the stored procedure as the user1, it gives me an error on a line saying "insufficient privileges", when i check the line, its this line: alter user user1 DEFAULT ROLE "ROLE1", "ROLE2"
But as far as i know the user1 has the "alter user" privilege
I want to make those two roles ROLE1, ROLE2 DEFAULT because i don't want the other roles ROLE3,ROLE4 to be default, as you know if there are many roles and if we alter user with default for certain roles other roles become DEFAULT=NO.
So i get the error at "alter user" statement though the user has the "alter user" privilege, what do you think might be wrong?
OR is there anyway to grant roles to the user with default=NO option?
if a user have alter table gant but could not alter .. what additional grant it need
SQL> alter table HRS_PERS_FIELDS_INC modify(PER0000252 NUMBER(19,3)); alter table HRS_PERS_FIELDS_INC modify(PER0000252 NUMBER(19,3)) * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
I logged in as system and I just execute below script, however Im getting error "SQL Error: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist 00942. 00000 - "table or view does not exist""
I have a schema TEST1 and it has a view 'TEST_VIEW'. I granted read only permission on the view to TEST2 schema. grant select on TEST_VIEW to TEST2.
But TEST2 is used by an application which requires to read view metadata and then sync with application afterwords start reading. Is there any special permission to grant to access metadata of the view / table.
Is there a way to find out who and how was the GRANT permission revoked from user.Why i am asking is , i see a grant permission exist for a user and has been revoked later.
I created a user and granted connect,resource priviliges. I gave access to this user for only 5 tables. when i check it later, other tables are also given access. How can i avoid this and give access to selected tables.
