Perhaps the role name is not what you think it is … some crazy hidden character
maybe? You might be better pulling out the role name from all_objects or
dba_roles (using LIKE %) and then execute immediate of a dynamically composed
string to circumvent the hidden characters.

Somehow a role got created with the name ???APP_READONLY??? and it is owned
by the sys user. I've been asked to delete the role since it isn't valid,
but I haven't been able to figure out how to delete it. Any ideas?
