What happens when "Joe User" downloads the next client application (e.g. PL/SQL Developer) and you don't know about it? The data access should be controlled within the database not outside it utilizing features such as object privileges and roles.

The below statements I have inserted into the PUP table and still can SELECT as the userid in TOAD. I have tested this in SQL*PLUS and it worked. I could restrict SELECT from Joe in SQL*PLUS. INSERT INTO PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE VALUES ('TOAD', 'JOE', 'SELECT', NULL, NULL, 'DISABLED', NULL, NULL); INSERT INTO PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE VALUES ('TOAD.exe', 'JOE', 'SELECT', NULL, NULL, 'DISABLED', NULL, NULL); I have inserted these rows as the system user and committed. Why can I still select thru TOAD? thanks, David Ehresmann ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- American Express made the following annotations on 08/12/2004 02:09:41 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ****************************************************************************** "This message and any attachments are solely for the intended recipient and may contain confidential or privileged information.
