Intern al User Accounts

Certain user accounts are created automatically for database administration. Examples are SYS and SYSTEM. Other accounts are automatically created just so that individual Oracle Database XE features or products can have their own schemas. An example is the CTXSYS account, which is used by the Oracle Text product. Oracle Text is used to index the Oracle Database XE online Help. The Help index is stored in the CTXSYS schema in the database.

These automatically created accounts are called internal us er accounts, and their schemas are called int ernal schemas.

The only internal accounts that you may log in with are the SYS and SYSTEM accounts, although it is recommended that you avoid logging in with the SYS account. Do not attempt to log in with other internal accounts. See "The SYS and SYSTEM Users" for more information.
