Limit Database DBA Privileges in Toad for developers

Hi,
I am using Toad 9.7.5 version. I have multiple databases in oracle 9i/10g. Each schema has several users.
I want to apply security for users at TOAD Menu level.
What i want is for users other than DBA i want to restrict DBA options which u find in menu(Database). Only user with DBA role can use that menu.
I have done the same thing by restricting several privileges by creating TOAD user. But it involves a lot of manual work.
For each user i have to select the privileges that i want to restrict.
Is there any way that i can implement security at menu level. Please let me know how can i acheive this.
Thanks in Advance.

I want to apply security for users at TOAD Menu levelThen what happens when they use another tool?
Implement the security in the proper place - the database - and it can be reused consistently, securely & properly.

DBA privilege is requied to EXPDP in Oracle 10g XE export....?

Hi...All...,
1. I created one user and give privileges CONNECT,RESOURCE only.
2. I ran the expdp command, it is giving following errors
ORA-39002: The operation is invalid.
ORA-39070: The log file cannot be opened.
ORA-39087: Directory name DD1 is invalid.
3. Then i gave DBA privilege and ran the same expdp command. Now it created
dump file without any problems.
So DBA privilege is required for a user to create dump file...is it true....?
Thanks in advance,
Pal

DBA privilege is required for a user to create dump
file...is it true....?No, most probably you didn't grant privileges to your user on the directory you specified within expdp command.

DBA privileges for BOMM.

Hi Experts!
Currently customer want to know the reason why user account with DBA privilege must be needed for BOMM.
I've read "xir2_mm_users_guide.pdf"
"Ensure that the new user has permission to create, modify, and delete tables so that Metadata Manager can modify the database as required.
For Oracle, the user must have DBA privileges. "
Could you please give me a piece of advice or explain?
Thanks in advance

Hi Dan and All folks,
I am having challenges collecting all metadata (specially procedures) on a given Oracle Schema.in Production due to DB user Privileges.
We have created a DB Account/User having the following Privilege 1. Unlimited Tablespace, Create Session and ANY dictionary" . We are using native connections for our integrator's.
However, in development region when I change the Privilege to the following: --
1. SELECT ANY TABLE and
2. EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
I get metadata for all objects and the counts of objects via SQL matches with the count of distinct objects collected by the BOMM tool for that schema (i.e. Table, Views, Procedures and Synonyms).
Now the issue is that, the DBA's will obviously NOT allow the db user to have "EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE" Privilege in Production.
While we are looking at other alternatives, like writing scripts etc, I am reaching out to you all for any thoughts/help I can get towards this issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on it?
Thanks

Export import - using TOAD FOR ORACLE and ORACLE DATABASE 10G EXPRESS or s

Hi all,
Could you please kindly help me?
I am using TOAD FOR ORACLE to export a table to flat file A. The tool just supports to distinguish fields by "spaces".
And the web page of ORACLE DATABASE 10G EXPRESS to import the data from flat file A to another database. To load data to a table from a text file, the web page bases on "comma" to distinguish fields.
So could you have any suggestion for me? I need to export data via TOAD FOR ORACLE. And then import it to another database by the home page of ORACLE DATABASE 10G EXPRESS or sqlplus.
Thank you so much for your help!

Dont use TOAD for exporting your data. Use PL/SQL. Below is the code given in Asktom.com that does what you want.

Privileges to grant to developers for xml.?

Hi,
I had installed the XML parser for plsql and
sql utility by doing the following way
1)logged in as DBA
2) Executed initjvm.sql
3)granted privilages javauserpriv and javasyspriv to dba.
4)loadjava xmlparserv2.jar
loadjava xmlplsql.jar
5) sqlplus> @load.sql
( for installing plsql xml parser).
6)sqlplus>catxsu.sql
Now I want to allow the other users
to develop the xml applications.
what privileges i should give the users
so that they should be enable to
develop xml applications.
I had already granted javauserpriv and javasyspriv to the users.
I didnt found any good documentation
to set up the xml development enivironment.
thank you
null

This is a known bug that has been fixed in 11.1.0.7.0. As a workaround, please try assigning to the user a non-zero quota, instead of unlimited quota, for the tablespace. To create a semantic model, invoker does not need DBA privileges.
Thanks,

Toad for Oracle 10.5 Schemas

Hello,
I am using Toad for Oracle 10.5 and I do not have Admin rights to any Schema Browsers. I have a few questions about copying one Schema to another Schema. I have DEV (development) and TST (test) environments where tables, triggers, packages, etc... are created and manipulated. Also, I am not sure if this is the right forum for this question but if this is not please point me in the right direction. If there are any links, threads, etc... that can assist me please provide them to me so I can review. Is there a way in Toad for Oracle to copy one Schema DEV to another schema TST? Are there any steps that can achieve this or is this only a Admin process. I am trying to implement this on my own instead of sending the task to the Admins within my department. Thanks for reading and taking the time to assist me with this.

I clicked on the Database - Export - Data Pump Export and once I clicked the green arrow I do receive the Toad Message. 'Your license does not permit executing "Data Pump Export4.", etc...' So that means even if you had dba privilege it was not possible to use that feature.
I did this yesterday and definitely thought that only certain programmers have rights to this from the error message. Every user/dba in your team who uses the toad for this feature(exp/imp) will face the same error what you came across.
I found this on net(http://www.club-oracle.com/forums/export-import-table-using-toad-t1227/) :
Data Pump Overview
Note: This Toad feature is only available in the commercial version of Toad in either the Professional Edition or with the optional Quest DBA Module.
thanks again for you assistance.You are welcome Charles.

The user account in which the Oracle VSS Writer Service is running does not have the DBA privileges to log in to the Oracle instance.

VSS-00011: Connection to database instance <instance_name> failed.
Cause : The user account in which the Oracle VSS Writer Service is running does not have the DBA privileges to log in to the Oracle instance.
Action : Run the Oracle VSS Writer Service in a user account that can connect to the Oracle instance with DBA privileges.
I have assigned ora_dba group to the user that runs the Oracle VSS Writer Service which is the only Oracle solution but still getting
the above error. Was advised to raise the issue here that it is an OS issue. Pls help

The user account cannot access Oracle Database instance. And also how do you temporarily disable security software on the server.
Have you checked what I already asked for? "Try using the user account and access the Database Instance.
That will let you see if the problem is with the user account permissions or not."
If this does not help then you can contact Oracle as suggested by Dave.

Differences between TOAD for Oracle and Oracle SQL Developer?

Does someone know the advantages and disadvantages of using TOAD for Oracle and Oracle SQL Developer?
I work making reports with TOAD, but in a few days I will have to use the SQL Developer (because it´s free) unless I justify the necessity of using TOAD.
Could some that used both compare them?
Thanks,
Facundo.

Hello Facundo,
since we are rolling out new client PCs we switch from Toad to SQL Developer. Therefore I'm doing some training for the "normal" users and our developers.
Most users simply want to have access to the data in tables and views. For those there are 2 main issues:
- Filters get lost when exiting table while sorting is still applied. Since there is no way to apply filtering before entering the data tab this can become a great performance issue because sorting is applied to many many rows. For views it is sometimes impossible to open the data tab.
- Exporting date values to Excel needs some know how if you want to sort by this column in Excel, because the date is formatted as "Standard" meaning that the sorting is done as for a text column: 01.01.2009 is less than 02.01.2008. Here you have to use a workaround column with a formula (=1*<datecolumn>)
The greatest Pro is the easy sharing of connections and reports by XML files.
Our developers like the easy debugging in SQL Developer. Though they miss the feature that the source is compiled for debug automatically as in Toad. For this we have distributed a script that compiles any PL/SQL object for debugging.
There are only some Toads installed for DBAs and for users that need access to tables protected by policies that require authentification by OS user since this information is not passed under every circumstance.

Marcus

INS0003 OWB Repository Installation cannot continue without DBA privileges

Hi:
I´ve installed oracle database 10120 and today installed oracle warehouse builder 10.1, the installation haven´t problems, but when i try to execute OWB Repository Assistant i have the follow message error:
INS0003 OWB Repository Installation cannot continue without DBA privileges
If i connect me to OEM and check the privileges for sys or system user don't have any problem if i connect me as sysdba.
I created a new user with all privileges and the error is the same.
How could i fix my problem?
Thanks for your help.
Alex.

This issue is normally caused because you have not setup sys to connect as sysdba per newer database setup procedures, test with connect "/ as sysdba" in sql*plus.
If you cannot connect from SQLPlus by just the '/ as sysdba' login, then check the Note 50507.1 via Metalink as this describes the different ways you can connect to Oracle as an
administrative user.
Hope this helps,

OWB DBA Privileges Required

I have OWB and Oracle 10g Installed on the same computer.
When I go to create the Repository, logging in as user sys
I get the following message.
INS0003: OWB Repository Installation cannot continue
without DBA privileges. Connect as DBA and use
option Create a new Warehouse Builder Repository to
continue the process.
I can however connect to other databases in our environment and
the repository installation seems to continue without this error.
Any Body have any Idea about this error message?

Good morning Melvin,
What do you mean, "logging in as user sys"?
Creating a runtime repository is done using the Runtime Assistant, you don't log on there, you only provide user credentials, for instance for a user with SYSDBA prviliges.
I assume you've read chapter 2.3 in the Oracle Warehouse Builder Installation and Configuration Guide?
What are the exact versions of database and OWB and are they certified with each other? Did you apply patches?
Certain versions don't work well together, check Metalink Note:332371.1
BTW, there was already a thread regarding a similar issue in this forum, did you check that?
See oracle datawarehouse builder INS0003, INS0009 .
Good luck, Patrick

Enterprise Manger with Remote DBA Privileges

Has anyone been able to set up there database, management server, and management console to allow for remote DBA privileges?
I successfully set up the enterprise manager and repository etc. but I can't get sysdba privelages through the console. I followed the steps in the manual for creating a new password file and restarting my local instance but it didn't work.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Running Oracle 8.1.6
OS Windows 2000 Advanced Server
thanks
steve

Make sure you have granted SYSDBA/SYSOPER to whatever account it is that you are logging in as. Also, make sure that you chg the init param REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE = exclusive. The default is "none" which negates the password file you created and also will not allow you to grant the SYSDBA/SYSOPER roles to any account.

ORASSO database user privileges

Hi-
We are using 10G SSO, in the OID database DBA role is assigned to ORASSO user.
I am unable to find that why do we require DBA role for this user, can we revoke DBA role from ORASSO?
Regards

Hio Srini,
Thanks for your feedback. We are using Discoverer 11g on a 10g database. OS on client machine running Discoverer Desktop is Windows xp and im pretty sure its solaris on the box.
The eulowner user is indeed a database account and was specifically created to create the eul with. Therefore with this in mind, i created a new database user with resource and connect privs. Once this was created i navigated to Discoverer Administrator expecting to see the user within the dropdown menu under tool > priviledges, but the new user namely disco_user is not appearing in the lsit for selection.
I'm wondering if this eul was created as an apps mode eul, would this determine whether standard database users are able to be selected in this mode? The full error message when logging into Discoverer Desktop is;
unable to connect to: disco_user@db you do not have access priviledges to any end user layer tables.
This message appears does apear quite rightly as i have found before when no priviledges have been assigned to the user in admin, but without the ability to select the user from the dropdown list, im unable to grant these.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. I appreciate your help.

Setting database option ONLINE to ON for database "dbname"

Hi
Today i faced a wiered issue, One of my database on sql server 2005 was offline.
Scenerio: One fo my database was offline , I checked in
1. SSMS (GUI) -- DB is offline
2. sys.databases (status) -- offline
3. Job is using DATABASEPROPERTYEX and its ignoring databases as status is offline.
And we also know (observed) if we change status from online to offline , Message come as below
Setting database option OFFLINE to ON for database "dbname".
SQL Server has encountered 1 occurrence(s) of cachestore flush for the 'Object Plans' cachestore (part of plan cache) due to some database maintenance or reconfigure operations.
SQL Server has encountered 1 occurrence(s) of cachestore flush for the 'SQL Plans' cachestore (part of plan cache) due to some database maintenance or reconfigure operations.
SQL Server has encountered 1 occurrence(s) of cachestore flush for the 'Bound Trees' cachestore (part of plan cache) due to some database maintenance or reconfigure operations.
And when we change from offline to online , message is like
Setting database option ONLINE to ON for database "dbname".
Issue : Now When i change database status from offline to online (online to on), below message generated. This only happen once and i am not able to regenerate same
Setting database option ONLINE to ON for database "dbname".

SQL Server has encountered 1 occurrence(s) of cachestore flush for the 'Bound Trees' cachestore (part of plan cache) due to some database maintenance or reconfigure operations.
Confusion: Why cache stores are flushed while taking database online ??

This message was introduced in SP2. From online help about ALTER DATABASE athttp://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174269.aspx
When the database is set to
AUTOCLOSE = ON, an operation that initiates an automatic database shutdown clears the plan cache for the instance of SQL Server.
Can you check the above?
