In Oracle Database, the `USER` pseudocolumn (or function) returns the name of the current session user—the username with which you're connected to the database. This is a built-in feature of Oracle SQL and PL/SQL and is commonly used for security, auditing, or personalization features within applications and database procedures.

**Is it possible to assign a different user name to the `USER` parameter?**

The short answer is **no**, you cannot directly assign or change the value of the `USER` pseudocolumn to a different username within a session. The `USER` pseudocolumn is read-only and is automatically managed by Oracle based on the authenticated session. It always reflects the username of the currently connected session and cannot be altered programmatically or through any SQL or PL/SQL commands.

**Understanding `USER` vs. `CURRENT_SCHEMA`:**

While you cannot change the `USER`, Oracle does allow you to change the default schema for the session using the `ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA` command:

```sql
ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = other_schema;
```

This command changes the default schema context for the session, so you don't have to prefix objects with the schema name when accessing them. However, **this does not change the value of the `USER` pseudocolumn**. The `USER` will still return the name of the session user, not the `CURRENT_SCHEMA`.

**Workarounds and Alternatives:**

If your goal is to have functions or procedures behave as if they are running under a different user, or to access objects in another schema without schema qualifiers, consider the following alternatives:

1. **Synonyms:**
- Create synonyms for objects in other schemas to simplify object access without changing the user context.

2. **Definer's Rights and Invoker's Rights:**
- Use PL/SQL program units with invoker's rights (`AUTHID CURRENT_USER`) to have the code execute with the privileges of the invoker, affecting how `USER` is resolved in that context.

3. **Proxy Users:**
- Use proxy authentication where one user connects on behalf of another, allowing controlled switching of user contexts.

4. **Custom Functions:**
- While you cannot change `USER`, you can create a custom function or context that returns a different username or application-specific user identifier, which you manage within your application logic.

**Example of a Custom Function:**

```sql
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_app_user RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
BEGIN
-- Return an application-specific user or identifier
RETURN 'APP_USER';
END;
```

You can then use `get_app_user` in your SQL or PL/SQL code instead of `USER` when you need a customizable or application-controlled username.

**Security Considerations:**

Altering or faking session user information can have significant security implications. Oracle's design in keeping `USER` read-only ensures that authentication and auditing mechanisms remain reliable. If you need to simulate or impersonate another user for testing or specific application purposes, it's essential to handle this carefully to avoid security vulnerabilities.

**Conclusion:**

In summary, you cannot assign a different user name to the `USER` system parameter in Oracle. It is inherently tied to the authenticated session user for security and integrity reasons. If you need to work with different user contexts or simulate different users, consider using session schema changes, invoker rights, or custom functions to achieve your requirements within the framework provided by Oracle.
