Re:RE: change unix user when running external procedure

John,

    Sorry, I wasn't sure it would work either. Can you change the permissions on the file to be read to public read access?

Dick....I tried this but it didn't work...

When I write a file using my shared libary the ownership is still oracle, not john

-rwsrwxrwx 1 john john myClib.so

-rw-rw-r-- 1 oracle dba testfile
