How To drop an Access Control List (ACL) in Oracle


To drop an Access Control List (ACL) in Oracle, you can use the DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN package.


Here's the basic syntax to drop an ACL

1. Identify the ACL to Drop:

SELECT * FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACL_PRIVILEGES;



OR

SELECT * FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACLS;





2. Execute the DROP_ACL Procedure

BEGIN DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.DROP_ACL ( acl => 'your_acl_name.xml' ); END; /

Replace 'your_acl_name.xml' with the name of the ACL you want to drop.

After executing this PL/SQL block, the ACL named your_acl_name.xml will be dropped from the Oracle database.

Make sure you have the necessary privileges to execute the DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.DROP_ACL procedure, typically the EXECUTE privilege on the package.

Additionally, you might need the ADMINISTER_NETWORK_ACL privilege to manage ACLs.
