Hi,

I want to know if there is any way in Oracle 9i or 10g where the Sysdba can login as a normal database user and execute some tasks.For eg if i am a sysdba and i want to login as a database user(say Ram) and execute some function but i dont know the password

I know one where i can change the user password,execute the package and again put the old password back from password column in dba_users,but this is not the reight way.

Please suggest

Ram

There is no other way to do it.
There is no "su" procedure in Oracle.

This is a quite good question.
Maybe to not do something that must not be done with SYSDBA privilege?

Ram, another option is to connect as 'OPS$<OSUSERNAME>'
