It depends on your unix, but if you look in your /etc/passwd, you will see a number of UID's that are used by various system functions. UID 0, also known as root, has many special powers and is often specifically coded for or against in applications code such as Oracle. Other low numbers are inevitably used by system things, so you wouldn't want to use them.
