Hello All,

I have production database server with Oracle 8.1.7 installed on Windows NT.

I want to know that should I keep following users created at the time of
installation or drop them. I am not using any 8i feature and use is limited
or equal to 7.3 or 8.0 versions.

OUTLN
DBSNMP
AURORA$JIS$UTILITY$
OSE$HTTP$ADMIN
AURORA$ORB$UNAUTHENTICATED
ORDSYS
ORDPLUGINS
MDSYS
CTXSYS
MTSSYS

Kindly also let me know side effects of dropping these users.

Thanks

Manu

you can drop some of them... CTXSYS etc which relates to the context server, but some you should not drop (DBSNMP for example).

Have a look on metalink for full details - there will be scripts in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin to drop them 'correctly', you just need to identify the correct scripts.

One thing... maybe you could have a look at what you installed when you first installed the Oracle software and next time, only install the parts you need ;-)

Personally, I'd just leave them there - they don't take up much space and 'if it's not broke, don't fix it' ;-)

Thats my 2p ;-)
