RE: PUPBLD.SQL Oracle 7.3.4 What is it? FINAL ANSWER FOUND: SECURITY FOR SQL*PLUS

Just FYI for all,

The pupbld.sql is used for securing the SQL*Plus application. Period. No other apps reference this table at all. It is used to avoid having users of an application getting into the database via SQL*Plus and raising havoc. The Oracle SQL*Plus reference has a whole chapter (#9) dedicated to this table and its use.

Its interesting, shows how to even get around this table and still *break in* to a db. Since the Oracle client puts down sql plus on the users machine, probably a good idea to implement security here. Received on Mon Nov 13 2000 - 09:56:56 CST
