Hi,

I installed Oracle8i dtabase on HP 9000 server,then I create a general user name "mike" ( Oracle account) with password "mike". I only grant "create session" previliege to this user, but when I log in using this account , I find I can run "CONNECT mike/mike AS SYSDBA". This make me feel strange, cause I haven't grant any role and SYSDBA administrator previliege
"Mike"."Mike" is only a Oracle account and doesn't belong default user group
"dba".

In Oracle 9i Administrator Guide( PDF from Oracle official site), there is one sentence "Control of these privileges is totally outside of the database itself."( chapter 1, Page 1-13 ), I don't know its mean and can not find more clear description about this.

Any assistance is appreciated! Received on Fri Sep 28 2001 - 18:46:02 CDT
