Venu,
   Just keep in mind that if the developers have the rights to change
any of the data in production, they will be able to do it directly via
TOAD.  TOAD makes it even easier to make data changes, without SQL.

Subject: Using TOAD on production databases

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.
