ORA-01031: insufficient privileges (Oracle 8.1.7.0)

Hi,
We are in the process of creating the test database (8.1.7.0) server on the new server machine having WINDOWS OS.
I have installed oracle software and created the default database along with setup and thus created the TEST database.
Listner is also working and also got connected to database server by login using "SYS@TEST as SYSDBA" user
But now, when i try to shutdown / startup the database it show the following error :
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
Though i have logged in as sysdba, it is not allowing to do so.
Also checked the ROLES and PRIVILEGES for SYS and SYSTEM users.
Both users are having all the default roles and privileges that have been given automatically during database creation.
where is mistake done ???

Ora-01031 insufficient privileges oracle

Hi to all,
I have installed oracle 10g and created new database. When i try to create the simple view its showing the following error.
ora-01031 insufficient privileges oracle
Note: if i have logged thru admin user, i could able to create the view (system & manager). Though i have provide the grant permission i could not able to create the view, its asking for priviledges.
say create or replace view view_name as select * from employees;
Error: ora-01031 insufficient privileges oracle
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You need the CREATE VIEW system privilege in order to create a view. This is in addition to SELECT privileges on the tables granted directly to you (not to some role you have).

Oracle does not start automatically ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Hi,

Oracle Instance does not start with oracle services but if i stop and restart the services it comes up clean.
Moreover if i change service ownership to Domain\Administrator it again works well.

Please help
Thanks

1- startup type- Auto
2- Group to user- ORA_DBA
3 - you can check log on tab in the service properties and set the username and password who responsible about this services
As i already stated 3 works. but i want it to work under Local System and not under any user.

Also SAPSID services is running with user id sapserviceSID and i change it to SIDadm but no lock.
Request you please help me in this regard.
Sincerely
Paresh

As expected
This is really a very small problem but very weird we suffered so many times. May be we should confirm the authorizations for SAPServiceSID and sidadm users on that windows host, sometimes we miss this part in Windows to check.
Kernel folders should be proper accessible by both of the users. Also, please keep SAP instance service via SAPServiceSID itself.
Just to reconfirm - you restarted SAP and restarted SAP/Oracle services as well, right ?
Thanks

The answer of Ed Stevens is correct.
Internal won't work, or you need to use a workaround.

Hi,
Have you create the orapw file in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs with orapwd ?
example :
orapwd file=${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/orapw${ORACLE_SID} password=change_on_install entries=40
Then the unix user oracle will be create in the orapw${ORACLE_SID} file
after if you want to create another user :
grant sysdba to TOTO; the unix user TOTO could do : connect / as sysdba

Are you saying you can only have one instance of an
Oracle Database install if you are going to use
Oracle XE?Yes.
Oracle Database XE is free for usage with the following limitations:
Supports up to 4GB of user data (in addition to Oracle system data)
Single instance only of Oracle Database XE on any server
May be installed on a multiple CPU server, but only executes on one processor in any server
May be installed on a server with any amount of memory, but will only use up to 1GB RAM of available memory

Privs granted via a role are only valid from SQL - and not from/within stored PL/SQL code.
Quoting Tom's (from http://asktom.oracle.com) response to this:I did address this role thing in my book Expert one on one Oracle:
<quote>
What happens when we compile a Definer rights procedure
When we compile the procedure into the database, a couple of things happen with regards to
privileges. We will list them here briefly and then go into more detail:
q    All of the objects the procedure statically accesses (anything not accessed via dynamic SQL)
are verified for existence. Names are resolved via the standard scoping rules as they apply to the
definer of the procedure.
q    All of the objects it accesses are verified to ensure that the required access mode will be
available. That is, if an attempt to UPDATE T is made - Oracle will verify the definer or PUBLIC
has the ability to UPDATE T without use of any ROLES.
q    A dependency between this procedure and the referenced objects is setup and maintained. If
this procedure SELECTS FROM T, then a dependency between T and this procedure is recorded
If, for example, I have a procedure P that attempted to 'SELECT * FROM T', the compiler will first
resolve T into a fully qualified referenced. T is an ambiguous name in the database - there may be
many T's to choose from. Oracle will follow its scoping rules to figure out what T really is, any
synonyms will be resolved to their base objects and the schema name will be associated with the
object as well. It does this name resolution using the rules for the currently logged in user (the
definer). That is, it will look for an object owned by this user called T and use that first (this
includes private synonyms), then it will look at public synonyms and try to find T and so on.
Once it determines exactly what T refers to - Oracle will determine if the mode in which we are
attempting to access T is permitted.   In this case, if we as the definer of the procedure either
owns the object T or has been granted SELECT on T directly or PUBLIC was granted SELECT, the
procedure will compile. If we do not have access to an object called T by a direct grant - the
procedure P will fail compilation. So, when the object (the stored procedure that references T) is
compiled into the database, Oracle will do these checks - and if they "pass", Oracle will compile
the procedure, store the binary code for the procedure and set up a dependency between this
procedure and this object T. This dependency is used to invalidate the procedure later - in the
event something happens to T that necessitates the stored procedures recompilation. For example,
if at a later date - we REVOKE SELECT ON T from the owner of this stored procedure - Oracle will
mark all stored procedures this user has that are dependent on T, that refer to T, as INVALID. If
we ALTER T ADD some column, Oracle can invalidate all of the dependent procedures. This will cause
them to be recompiled automatically upon their next execution.
What is interesting to note is not only what is stored but what is not stored when we compile the
object. Oracle does not store the exact privilege that was used to get access to T. We only know
that procedure P is dependent on T. We do not know if the reason we were allowed to see T was due
to:
q    A grant given to the definer of the procedure (grant select on T to user)
q    A grant to public on T (grant select on T to public)
q    The user having the SELECT ANY TABLE privilege
The reason it is interesting to note what is not stored is that a REVOKE of any of the above will
cause the procedure P to become invalid. If all three privileges were in place when the procedure
was compiled, a revoke of ANY of them will invalidate the procedure - forcing it to be recompiled
before it is executed again. Since all three privileges were in place when we created the procedure
- it will compile successfully (until we revoke all three that is). This recompilation will happen
automatically the next time that the procedure is executed.
Now that the procedure is compiled into the database and the dependencies are all setup, we can
execute the procedure and be assured that it knows what T is and that T is accessible. If something
happens to either the table T or to the set of base privileges available to the definer of this
procedure that might affect our ability to access T -- our procedure will become invalid and will
need to be recompiled.
This leads into why ROLES are not enabled during the compilation and execution of a stored
procedure in Definer rights mode. Oracle is not storing exactly WHY you are allowed to access T -
only that you are. Any change to your privileges that might cause access to T to go away will cause
the procedure to become invalid and necessitate its recompilation. Without roles - that means only
'REVOKE SELECT ANY TABLE' or 'REVOKE SELECT ON T' from the Definer account or from PUBLIC. With
roles - it greatly expands the number of times we would invalidate this procedure. If some role
that was granted to some role that was granted to this user was modified, this procedure might go
invalid, even if we did not rely on that privilege from that role. ROLES are designed to be very
fluid when compared to GRANTS given to users as far as privilege sets go. For a minute, let's say
that roles did give us privileges in stored objects. Now, most any time anything was revoked from
ANY ROLE we had, or any role any role we have has (and so on -- roles can and are granted to roles)
-- many of our objects would become invalid. Think about that, REVOKE some privilege from a ROLE
and suddenly your entire database must be recompiled! Consider the impact of revoking some system
privilege from a ROLE, it would be like doing that to PUBLIC is now, don't do it, just think about
it (if you do revoke some powerful system privilege from PUBLIC, do it on a test database). If
PUBLIC had been granted SELECT ANY TABLE, revoking that privilege would cause virtually every
procedure in the database to go invalid. If procedures relied on roles, virtually every procedure
in the database would constantly become invalid due to small changes in permissions. Since one of
the major benefits of procedures is the 'compile once, run many' model - this would be disastrous
for performance.
Also consider that roles may be
q    Non-default: If I have a non-default role and I enable it and I compile a procedure that
relies on those privileges, when I log out I no longer have that role -- should my procedure become
invalid -- why? Why not? I could easily argue both sides.
q    Password Protected: if someone changes the password on a ROLE, should everything that might
need that role be recompiled? I might be granted that role but not knowing the new password - I
can no longer enable it. Should the privileges still be available? Why or Why not? Again, arguing
either side of this is easy. There are cases for and against each.
The bottom line with respect to roles in procedures with Definer rights are:
q    You have thousands or tens of thousands of end users. They don't create stored objects (they
should not). We need roles to manage these people. Roles are designed for these people (end users).
q    You have far fewer application schema's (things that hold stored objects). For these we want
to be explicit as to exactly what privileges we need and why. In security terms this is called the
concept of 'least privileges', you want to specifically say what privilege you need and why you
need it. If you inherit lots of privileges from roles you cannot do that effectively. We can manage
to be explicit since the number of development schemas is SMALL (but the number of end users is
large)...
q    Having the direct relationship between the definer and the procedure makes for a much more
efficient database. We recompile objects only when we need to, not when we might need to. It is a
large efficiency enhancement.

Error while Creating Master Repository: ORA-01031: insufficient Privileges

Hi,
I'm trying to install ODI into my VM.
I have done the installation and while creating Master Repository, I'm getting following error:
ORA-01031: insufficient Privileges
I'm using Oracle & have created user as ODI_MASTER with Admin Privileges.
I'll be using it to load metadata onto planning (Version 11.1.2)
Is there anything that I'm missing out on.
Jitendra.

Seems missing grants on the user you are using to create Master Repository.
you are using Oracle .. grant connect, resource to <your_user>. These two rolesa have sufficient access to db to create the master repository.

Ora-01031: Insufficient Privileges error during 10g install on Suse 9.1

I have tried installing Oracle 10g on Suse 9.1 Professional several times. Although I have tried to carefully follow the instructions in the installation guide, I get the following error.
When the Database Configuration Assistant start during the initial installation, I receive the error -> Ora-01031: Insufficient Privileges.
I created the oinstall and dba group according to the installation guide and made oracle a member with oinstall being the primary group. I also ran -> chown -R oracle:oinstall -> on the Oracle_Base folder to which I want to install the software and oradata files. Similarly, I ran -> chmod -R 775 -> on that folder. During the install I ran the script -> oracle_base/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh -> during the installation when prompted.
I would really appreciate any help that any of you could provide. Thank you so much in advance.
-Daniel

I'm logged in as oracle when I perform the installation but as soon as the database configuration assistant tries to create the database I get this error. I had made oracle a member of oinstall and dba just as it was desribed in the instructions. (At one point I even tried giving oracle root, which didn't seem to work either. I have since reinstalled the OS.)
Thank you for helping me with this!
