If I understand you, you're saying that the NT administrator (or a user that's part of the admin group) can do whatever they like with Oracle? Exactly the same is true under Unix. Give me root password, or make my user group root and I'll do whatever I like with Oracle on a Unix box. Received on Wed Jan 13 1999 - 07:46:54 CST
