Hi DBAs,

I have a funny query in my mind & I a convincing explanation from You. I granted DBA role to scott user for test purpose. But scott is able to connect as SUSDBA thru svrmgrl & able to start , shut the database.

My doubt is , during startup when the datanase is not up how DBA role is effective to scott user as Oracle has not mounted the data dictionery to refer the roles granted to scott user.

Any explanations please ?

I have give the sequence of actions below as it was.

Thanks

S Jayakumar
