Setting different passwords for the DBA roles in each database instance will
take care of much of the issues.

Its the unix oracle account that you should be concerned with. Access to the
oracle account is for upgrades, patches, or data file creation. Access outside these functions should be virtually nil.

You need to allow both, one or neither this access. One could be responsible for
upgrades and patches. But both may need to extent tablespaces by creating

additional datafiles; this should not occur too often. Received on Sun Oct 30 1994 - 05:29:06 CET
