Hmmm, I would never assume the default set up/behavior from any software = vendor is the correct approach, but that is just me :) ----------------- Ron Reidy Lead DBA Array BioPharma, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Goulet, Dick Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 7:51 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: DBMS_JAVA.GRANT_PERMISSION Has anyone out there ever had to grant permission for LoadLibrary? There's a Metalink document, Note:259471.1, on how to do it, but are there any downsides? I take the approach that if Oracle set this up as default behavior there is good reason for it.
