What permissions do the Oracle JDBC drivers require?
It depends on what you are trying to do. Beginning with 10.2 the drivers do the right thing when the SecurityManager is enabled. This requires quite a long list of permissions. In a secure environment you only want to grant the necessary permissions, so which permissions you grant depends on what your application is asking the drivers to do. The way to find out what permissions to grant is to look at the file ojdbc.policy in the demo directory. This is a generic security policy file that you can use to grant the drivers all the necessary permissions. In most cases you will want to comment out many of the permissions since your app doesn’t use the features that requires those permissions. This file depends on a number of system properties. To use this file you will have to define those properties using the -D option to the java command. Some of the permissions need only be granted to the JDBC driver code.

In order to do those operations the code must be granted the appropriate permissions. What permissions do the Oracle JDBC drivers require?As usual, it depends.
