That's the impression I get. When I looked at the objects owned by SYSTEM in my test database before the drop, none of them seemed vital.
On the other hand, dropping sys would probably be bad, but I wasn't able to do that (insufficient privileges.)
Trying to drop sys tables like sys.user$ caused an ORA-00701.
So since I'm on a quest to wound this database, I tried this:
SQL> delete from sys.user$ where name = 'SYS' ;
1 ligne supprim�e.
SQL> commit ;
Validation effectu�e.
So far no ill effects!
