Nevertheless, databases don't run unattended. There is always someone whose
job is to make people able to access the db. Without users, what would
be the point?

and contractors cannot always be reached, or businesses don't want to pay contractors for all issues.
If someone wants you to work, that guy has to reach you and you
have to be able to reach him. There's you anchor point.

This is just the reality in the real world, even though you're obviously lucky enough to work for a university that doesn't have the same constraints that small businesses face.
Worked with small businesses too. Typically there the guy bothering about
the hardware, software or both comes to the shop when called and he knows
what's going on. Might be someones grandson, but even *if* he installed
oracle, he's the kid to talk to.
Besides, small businesses run mysql or sqlserver. No one dares to install
oracle in a production system without knowing about it. After all it's not
just inserting the CD and clicking OK on each screen.


Sincerely,
Your friendly stupid hacker who foolishly posts about a really stupid question that wouldn't affect any database security anyway.
You are not the first one trying this.

Lots of Greetings!
