I'm a PHP developer (not a DBA) and I've been working with Oracle 10g XE for a while. I'm used to XE's simplified user management:
- Go to Administration/ Users/ Create user
- Assign user name and password
- Roles: leave the default ones (connect and resource)
- Privileges: click on "Enable all" to select the 11 possible ones
- Create
This way I get a user that has full access to its data and no access to everything else. This is fine since I only need it to develop my app. When the app is to be deployed, the client's DBAs configure the environment.
Now I have to create users in a full Oracle 11g server and I'm completely lost. I have a new concept (profiles) and there're like 20 roles and hundreds of privileges in various categories.
What steps do I need to complete in Oracle Enterprise Manager in order to obtain a user with the same privileges I used to assign in XE?
==== UPDATE ====
I think I'd better provide a detailed explanation so I make myself clearer.
This is how I create a user in 10g XE:
Roles: [X] CONNECT [X] RESOURCE [ ] DBA Direct Asignment System Privileges: [ ] CREATE DATABASE LINK [ ] CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW [ ] CREATE PROCEDURE [ ] CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM [ ] CREATE ROLE [ ] CREATE SEQUENCE [ ] CREATE SYNONYM [ ] CREATE TABLE [ ] CREATE TRIGGER [ ] CREATE TYPE [ ] CREATE VIEW I click on Enable All and I'm done.
This is what I'm asked when doing the same in 11g:
