What OS is it?

If Unix, ...Look to see if you have a group named dba in /etc/group. Also the user oracle in your system may have been assigned a group oracle.

I would suggest changing it to dba just to avoid future headaches with the system if you are going to use some custom coded software.

Dba,
I wrote a procedure which uses utl_file for creating a ascii file on Sun Unix box. I submitted the procedure as a oracle job.
For some reason i couldn't create file because of unhandled exception i.e no privileges for creating files on OS. How can set privileges on OS for SNP processes ( which run dbms_job owned by Oracle) ? How can set up Group in /etc/group for this ? Thanks in advance.
