Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Shutdown/Startup user
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a user who only has rights to
Shutdown a database?. I'm thinking about scenario that if the password for
this user were ever compromised, e.g. seen in a script then worst case
scenario would be database might be shutdown. Indulge me on this please as
I acknowledge that a shutdown could be source of major revenue loss. This
is been driven by requirement to have a script to cleanly shutdown a
database potentially outside hours when DBA is not on site. If anyone has
any other practical suggestions for management of this requirement I'd
appreciate hearing them too.
