Hi Folks,
Any system admin did provide AIX file system control to prevent user/ admin accidentally remove database files ?
Thanks.
Remove access to the files except for the database owner account (oracle, ingres, informix etc.)
Change the root password and do not let anyone else have it or unlimited sudo access.
Change the permissions on the DB files to be RW to owner only.

What database files are you talking about, in AIX...
Issues with the ODM?
The issue is due to client conventional setup of using db instance user and app user are similar, user afraid of app admin when login accidentally remove the database datafiles.
Best to change the Application id then.
Keep the application and the database owner separate. It might be convenient, but you expose yourself to risk, as you have determined.
Security is like birth control. No-one who is having a good time wants to think about it, but then if it's too late, you can be in seriously expensive trouble.
