Go to your INIT{SID}.ora file, change the max_enabled_roles to something rather bigish, start up the database.

This does require that you are able to re-grant all privileges to the role or that a couple of old and obsolete roles exist that you need to clean up anyway. Problems like this are one reason the SYS ID should not be used to perform DBA tasks like creating users, roles, or user objects. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Levesque, Roger I. , CTR , WHS/PSD Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 1:25 PM To: 'oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: ORA-01925: maximum of 30 enabled roles exceeded Yes. What happens is, because I cannot logon to sys, it won't let me make the change which is a kind of catch-22. I am looking for a way around it so I can logon. I am in Oracle 8.1.7.4.0.
