Now this is just a wild guess ... but how about:

ALTER USER chuck QUOTA UNLIMITED ON tablespace_name;

or

ALTER USER chuck QUOTA 100M ON tablespace_name;

Was that so difficult?

If you don't have permission to do this, which is what I suspect, then perhaps it is because your DBA thinks as much of you as many that have met you here in this forum.

As Tom Kyte has pointed out ... if you could bypass quotas by running an IMPort every nimrod onthe planet would be violating quotas by using exports.

And now you have learned that NO ONE else thinks this is a bug. That we all find it completely consistent with the security model. And that you have managed to convince a large number of senior developers and DBAs that you are hard of learning.

So what do you think? Do you think everyone else is wrong and you are right? Or, just possibly, did you perhaps find that you, and you alone, don't understand the Oracle security model.

Hmmmmm.
