[Quoted] [Quoted] I don't think it's a case about privileges on the drop, but privileges on doing [Quoted] dynamic DDL as the following case illustrates:

[Quoted]
• The user has DBA rights. [Quoted]
• Can create other users and drop them directly, but not from dynamic DDL. [Quoted]
• What's wrong here?

SQL> select *
[Quoted]   2 from session_roles;

ROLE

---

CONNECT
RESOURCE
DBA
EXP_FULL_DATABASE
IMP_FULL_DATABASE SQL>
SQL> create user austin identified by austin;

User created.

SQL>
SQL> create or replace procedure test_dbmssql   2 as

  3   cursor_name                NUMBER;
  4   ignore                     NUMBER;

  5 BEGIN
  6 cursor_name := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;   7 DBMS_SQL.PARSE(cursor_name,'drop user Austin', DBMS_SQL.V7);   8 ignore := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(cursor_name);   9 END;
 10 /

Procedure created.

SQL>
SQL> execute test_dbmssql;
begin test_dbmssql; end;

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

SQL>

User dropped.

Thanks for any help.
