Q: How many people use the SYSOPER privilege?
...just curious...
Please respond only if the answer is affirmative -- I suspect the number of responses will be quite small...
P.S. I have never worked at an place where it is used, of which I'm aware. That in itself should speak volumes of the current importance of database security...
Just set it up now. We have a remote site which just needs startup and shutdown capabilities, and only for those
times when the network is down, a dba is unavailable or cannot get to the offsite server, and maintenance must be
performed. This will allow them to bring the database down gracefully, whereas before, they just basically "pulled
the plug".
