I am working on Oracle 9i.

I need to create a directory, but the user I am using has not enough rights/privileges to create a directory.

What are the rights/privileges required to create a directory?

How can I give them to this particular user through Enterprise Manager or preferably through an SQL command?

Thanks

You need the following privs:

CREATE ANY DIRECTORY - Create directory database objects
DROP ANY DIRECTORY - Drop directory database objects

However, don't be too surprised if you DBA don't want to grant them to you. With these privs you can do serious harm to a system (like reading password files, overwriting files, etc).

Best regards.
