Definition

Database Manager operators (DBM operators) use the Database Manager (DBM) to perform management tasks. DBM operators are not database users. As a result, they cannot log on to the Query Tools (such as SQL Studio) or the Loader. Exceptions to this rule are:

·        The first DBM operator

System default for this user’s name: dbm

This user is created when a new database instance is created. When accessing a database instance using Database Manager CLI, this user also has some database user rights, but may not create any additional database users.

·        The database system administrator (SYSDBA user); this user is the only one who can execute SQL statements in the Database Manager and log on to the Database Analyzer.

Use

DBM operators can log on to the Database Manager database tool. The first DBM operator can create additional DBM operators and grant them all or some of his or her own authorizations. Depending on the authorization, these DBM operators can create additional DBM operators.

To create and manage DBM operators, use the Database Manager:

Database manager GUI, Managing Database Manager Operators

Database manager CLI, Managing DBM Operators

Conventions for user names and passwords apply to DBM operators.

Properties of DBM Operators

The properties of a DBM operator include authorizations (SERVERRIGHTS) and a few other settings. The first DBM operator has all authorizations has all authorizations.
