Jared, the user id SYSTEM is almost always an object owner since a fresh Oracle install will create numerous objects under SYSTEM at least under versions 8.0 - 9.2. Maybe Oracle cleaned this up with version 10 but I see junk related to materialized views and replication neither of which we use just after database creation. -- Mark D Powell -- -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jared.Still@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, August 20, 2004 6:22 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: How to recover SYSTEM objects > Someone accidentally drops all SYSTEM objects.

Just recreate it. You don't actually even need SYSTEM. Though in 9i+, SYSTEM gets more privileges than are given by simply granting the DBA role. Of coures, if SYSTEM owned data objects, you have a problem. But of course, that was probably not the case.
