To manage SQL*Plus product profile restrictions, you can use Oracle's DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER package or manipulate the PRODUCT_PROFILE table directly. The following example demonstrates how to add a command restriction for a specific user:
Example:
INSERT INTO PRODUCT_PROFILE
(PRODUCT, USERID, ATTRIBUTE, SCOPE, NUMERIC_VALUE, CHAR_VALUE)
VALUES
('SQL*Plus', 'USERNAME', 'DISABLE_CMD', 'ALTER SYSTEM', NULL, 'Y');
Replace 'USERNAME' with the actual username for which you want to apply the restriction. This command adds a restriction that prevents the specified user from executing the ALTER SYSTEM command in SQL*Plus.
To remove a restriction, you can use the DELETE statement:
Example:
DELETE FROM PRODUCT_PROFILE
WHERE PRODUCT = 'SQL*Plus'
AND USERID = 'USERNAME'
AND ATTRIBUTE = 'DISABLE_CMD'
AND SCOPE = 'ALTER SYSTEM';
Replace 'USERNAME' with the actual username. This command removes the restriction that prevents the specified user from executing the ALTER SYSTEM command in SQL*Plus.
Always exercise caution when managing product profile restrictions, as misconfigurations can lead to unintended consequences and potentially compromise the security and integrity of your Oracle database environment.
As with any feature in your Oracle environment, you will want to be able to report on the existing restrictions in the PRODUCT_PROFILE table. As you might have guessed, you can do this by issuing a simple SQL statement against the PRODUCT_PROFILE table.
