Restricted access in 11g?
I have gotten a question from my developers:
in 10g (we run 11.2.0.2 now) they could take up the db in restricted mode and still log in to it (they have DBA rigths for some reason). This way they could do maintenance work without any users loggin in.
In 11g this is not possible.
"Further, when the instance is in restricted mode, a database administrator cannot access the instance remotely through an Oracle Net listener, but can only access the instance locally from the machine that the instance is running on"
Is there a way round this? I dont want to give them access to the server if I really dont have to.
