Hi,
I am using the utl_file package to write to a mapped drive on an NT Box. The database version is Oracle8.0.5.

I am logging in as a different user other than system to start the oracle services and the listener and it seems to be working fine.

But I heard that 8.1.7 does not support this functionality. Also what other measures need to be taken if i am starting my services as a different user other that system.

Please suggest as i am planning to deploy this on a production environment and am unsure whether it will screw up things or not.

Thanks
Anurag
