Re: SYSTEM tablespace

Questions :

Does your installation require a specific oracle user or does it require the "SYSTEM" oracle user ? If it requires the SYSTEM user, I would think twice about installing it. If it requires a specific user, modify this users default tablespace which must by "SYSTEM" by using the following command :

ALTER USER ... DEFAULT TABLESPACE TSD_DATA; By default, the default tablespace of a user is SYSTEM which would cause installation of objects in the SYSTEM tablespace which is not meant to hold application specific objects for many reasons i will not explain here.
