Just wondering if anyone knows if they've changed the way roles work in patch set 1 or this behavior is unexpected. I can't seem to find any relevant documentation on it online to see if this is expected.
11.1.0.6: SQL> create role testrole identified by testrole; Role created. SQL> create user testuser identified by testuser; User created. SQL> grant create session to testrole; Grant succeeded. SQL> grant testrole to testuser; Grant succeeded. SQL> connect testuser/testuser; Connected. SQL> 11.1.0.7: SQL> create role testrole identified by testrole; Role created. SQL> create user testuser identified by testuser; User created. SQL> grant create session to testrole; Grant succeeded. SQL> grant testrole to testuser; Grant succeeded. SQL> connect testuser/testuser; ERROR: ORA-01045: user TESTUSER lacks CREATE SESSION privilege; logon denied If I create the role without a password it works though.
