Greetings, Running 10.2.0.3.0 Standard Edition on RHEL3. One of the developers has requested access to the DBMS_MONITOR package. I'm just wondering about the pros and cons of granting such access. And is granting execute on the DBMS_MONITOR package sufficient or are other privileges necessary to get full use out of it? Thanks.
