Re: When using with DBLink: ORA-01453: SET TRANSACTION must be first statement of transaction

> Your last remark is strange, given you do have access to Metalink

Since I insist on full support access, I keep making this mistake, too.  If you look at user profile --> manage, you see that there are check boxes:

Add Support Identifier
Remove Support Identifier
Forum
Configure "My Headlines"
Access Patch Download
Read TARs
Open, Update and Close TARs
Freeze (Deactivate) this User
My Configs & Projects Create, Update, Delete

So, obviously there are people who can poke around but not actually ask support for anything, or maybe not be allowed to post on fora (I can understand that last one! :-)

I can understand why sites would want to control access like this, as I've seen developers get out of control, asking vendor support (or usenet, for that matter) about things when they should be using their local resources first. My personal preference is to let people have access to as much as possible, regardless.
