RE: 'internal' role and 9i

Barry,

What you need to do is stop using the INTERNAL role.

Create your own role. Grant access to the tables to this role. And then grant this role to your application user. Everything should be fine.

As I said, you made a mistake back when you started using the INTERNAL role. Now that this has gone away, you have to pay the piper.

Hope this helps.

As of yet I'm unsure how the application would be affected if I rename the role - I need to do some investigation.

I tried this in Oracle 8 and it worked fine - It just seems to be oracle 9 that doesn't like it.

I've also checked v$reserved_words and INTERNAL is not listed, INTERNAL_USE and INTERNAL_CONVERT are. As a test I created roles for INTERNAL_USE and INTERNAL_CONVERT, hoping that it would not allow me to create them, but it did, so I then ran the grant again and it also allowed it.

Now I'm really confused!!

Barry,

Why make life difficult? It's just a role, not a data object referenced by applications (hopefully). Change it's name to something that is not a "reserved word" and move on.  There is a list of "reserved words" in the SQL Language reference.

Hope this helps...
