Hi,

I have a group of developers that need to perform their own imports of another schema's tables. The previous DBA created some refresh scripts to do this but to get around the fromuser/touser issue he created a dot-file with the password to SYS and reads that password in within the script. Yikes!!

My question is, is there another "solution" that doesn't compromise database security? I'm hesitant to grant the IMP_FULL_DATABASE role to these users.

Any suggestions/feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks again!!
