Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: logging as oracle using sudo
At this site is the same...My only concern are possible problems during 10g
instalation and later administration of db.
I have seen this on other sites with 9i installations and it worked...I
would appreciate if someone can share her/his experience with 10g.
Thanks.
