| Q1: | I understand the need for security, but doesn't Oracle carry it a bit too far? |
| A1: | No, especially in larger applications where there are multiple users. Because different users will be doing different types of work in the database, you'll want to limit what users can and can't do. Users should have only the necessary roles and privileges they need to do their work. |
| Q2: | It appears that there is a security problem when the DBA that created my ID also knows the password. Is this true? |
| A2: | Yes, it is true. The DBA creates the IDs and passwords. Therefore, users should use the ALTER USER command to change their ID and password immediately after receiving them. |
