Hi all,
Today while checking database, i came accorss the point that there are only two dba roles in database.
SQL>select * from dba_roles;

ROLE                          |PASSWORD
------------------------------|--------
CONNECT                       |NO
RESOURCE                      |NO


I have created one user specifically for full database export. But in database no other roles are there(not even the EXP_FULL_DATABASE role).

Please tell me, is there any utility or way to create all missing default roles in database?

notepad and/or sqlplus can create any ROLE desired.

I know, I can create roles using "create role" statements, using notepad and/or sqlplus.

But EXP_FULL_DATABASE, DBA, IMP_FULL_DATABASE, SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE, RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER, GATHER_SYSTEM_STATISTICS etc are not simple roles, right? These roles contains authority for adminstration related work. How can i creat them..?

Dear anacedent,
You are one of the respected seniors of our fourms. I hadn't not expecting this kind of answers from you dear.

ROLEs do not exist automagically. They are created & in your situation eliminated.
V9 is nolonger supported.
If you have a functioning V9 instance with the desired ROLEs, then extract them & apply to the instance which has been abused.

I think the safest way is to recreate the database.
Otherwise you can reverse engineer sql.bsq file and then rerun catalog.sql, catproc.sql, catexp.sql and all scripts that have been executed.

Thanks Ana and Michel,

From other 9i database (working properly), i got the list of all the missing roles and all the privilages assigned to those roles. I have created script to create those roles and grant priviledges to them (create role and grant statements).

Is it okay if i run that script as a SYS user to create missing roles and assign associated priviladges to them? Will this damage my database?

Less then not having the roles but once more it depends if you have all what is needed for the features you have installed in this database.
