Article #25865: Special rights of SYSDBA

Problem:
Can someone clarify exactly what are the special rights of SYSDBA?

Solution:
SYSDBA:
o Will never have to be granted privileges of any kind; SYSDBA has all
privileges implicitly.
o Will never be disconnected from a database when it is shut down.
o Can connect to a database that is shut down.
o Can create/modify/delete users via the gsec tool (or equivalent GUI
interface).
