RE: Oracle 9i and connect as sys

Tim / Peter / Michael

Thanks for the information. I was afraid of that. We have a patching mechanism and need to logon as sys to grant access to sys objects for part of the process. (to grant select on sys.dba_free_space and execute on sys.dbms_util).

However, the patching mechanism only does a regular connect and not "as sysdba"--- DARN! - Will have to change automation scripts if we upgrade ... and I was hoping this would be easy to slide in :-(

It's a 9i thing, across all platforms.
