Hi Pete, Thanks for your links - some useful material here. I like your comment: "The whole process requires planning and forethought not quick fixes". This is exactly not what I've got here! Management tell me "I just need to tick a box to make my Excel spreadsheet read-only" and wonder why I can't just do the same for the database. - Charlotte On Thu, 16 Dec 2004 19:49 , Pete Finigan oracle_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx sent: Hi Charlotte, I don't know if these are of use to you or not but I wrote a few entries in my Oracle security weblog on this subject and similar.
