OK, NOW I need something from Oracle that says not just that these
things SHOULD be run as SYS, but that they MUST be run as SYS.
Anyone know of anywhere in the documentation where it says something
like 'if you don't run this as SYS and it blows up, you're on your
own??' or 'if you don't use the SYS acct to migrate, you're screwed'??
Please help me. If you cannot provide any documentation, then take a
silent moment to feel sorry for me.
thx
barb
