ORACLE_MAINTAINED Set From “_ORACLE_SCRIPT” parameter

A huge thank you to Pete Finnigan for his blog post.

Hacking Oracle 12c COMMON Users

Not only is the implementation of ORACLE_MAINTAINED not ideal, it’s a possible security risk.

My tip to you is to always exit the session before performing any object creation.

From my pain as you can see, looks like “_ORACLE_SCRIPT was not reset when new users where created.

Also ORACLE_MAINTAINED Objects Don’t Export

Learned quite a few new thing this weekend and can now lay to rest.

test:(SYS@test):PRIMARY> alter session set "_ORACLE_SCRIPT"=false;

Session altered.

test:(SYS@test):PRIMARY> create user newdemo identified by demo;

User created.

test:(SYS@test):PRIMARY> select username,oracle_maintained from dba_users order by 2;
