Hi,

I just want to know why i have so many extra users in the database ?

Quote:

SQL> select distinct(username) from dba_users

USERNAME
------------------------------
ANONYMOUS
ARUN ---> Created
CTXSYS
DBSNMP
MDSYS
ORDPLUGINS
ORDSYS
OUTLN
RAJESH ---> Created

USERNAME
------------------------------
SCOTT ---> Created
SUDHAR ---> Created
SYS
SYSTEM
TANU ---> Created
WMSYS
XDB

18 rows selected.

SYS and SYSTEM are fine but why so many users exist in the database by default.

Is it necessary to keep these users in the database ?
Could anyone give me some documentation or link to read about this.
The requirement is because i want to show all stored procedures from dba_source view and i want to exclude the unnecessary users.

thanks,
tarun

They are not extra users or zombies.
While creating the database you have asked the DBCA to go with default options that inlcude XMLDB,Intermedia etc.
