Re: SYS.OBJ$ & SYS.SEQ$

Just select? Doesn't sound unreasonable.... What kind of application is this? Some DBA tool. I don't know why a regular, off-the-shelf, financial or project management application would need the information in those tables. I guess the SEQ$ table could bypass the whole SELECT sequence_name.nextval FROM DUAL thing. maybe...

I don't see any harm in it. But, in general, like you, I'm weary of given above normal access to anyone, it's so much more easy to maintain when things don't get blown out of proportion.

Yet another two cents.
