Sure thing. It's
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:4723967389040312790::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,260986.1,1,0,1,helvetica

(Note 260986.1)

I guess my point is that if whoever is logging in as oracle has the privileges to do whatever they want then needing a password for starting and stopping the listener seems somewhat unnecessary... Received on Tue Jan 08 2008 - 07:38:27 CST
