On my test instance I added
grant sysdba to the_user; grant dba to the_user; grant ctxapp to the_user;
This may or may not be the right thing for a production instance, but it works for my testing install.
thanks for the reply! Yes, that was the workaround I mentioned. I can't quite figure why 10g needs that though. And as you say, far from ideal on a production system!
cheers Brian
grant connect,ctxapp,resource,javasyspriv, query rewrite,create view,create synonym to &&NOMBRE_USUARIO;
Resource has unlimited tablespace and other privs.
That sounds like the right solution. I've updated the Xowiki install notes.
many thanks Brian
