SYS is a privileged database account, and SYSMAN isn't a database account at all. SYSMAN is the administrative account for the Enterprise Manager's Management Server, which isn't a server in the usual sense, but merely a process (or, on Windows, a service). About as dissimilar as two completely dissimilar things in a pod could ever hope to be. Regards HJR
