Is there any problem with developers using Quest Software's TOAD on production databases? Regardless of the functionality in TOAD, a developer shouldn't be able to use the DBA functionality in TOAD, correct? We grant roles to developers and those roles never include any privilesges on SYSTEM or SYS owned objects. What made me ask this question is a script on www.orafaq.com that shows a way to prevent developers from using TOAD on production databases. Any thoughts are appreciated.
