Re: Oracle 9i and connect as sys

Hi!

Note that if you set your init.ora parameter o7_dictionary_accessibility to true, then you can connect as sys *without* sysdba or sysoper. But setting this parameter to true (old behaviour) isn't a good idea anymore, but might work for patching & maintenance type of work.
