Client has quite a few partitioned tables. Users are starting to want to query the actual tables, but we've got to keep them from queries that might combine multiple partitions. We can probably create some "this_month", "last_month" views under a reporting user id, but if the views can select the tables, then if the user is cleaver enough, they too may find they can get to the tables. Is there a way to let them see the views but hide the table names from them? I figure one of the table views will give it all away. We do monitor with Precise, but still. This is 8.1.7.4 on HP-UX. -- Michael Kline B2Bsol Midlothian, VA 23112 804-744-1545 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
