Good day listers,

We have some developers that would like to see all the package bodies in our data warehouse. This is a reasonable request.

The developers use Toad, which used the ALL_SOURCE view.

I pulled the code for all_source and discovered that the execute_any priv exclusion is hardcoded in this view.

Rather than granting them EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE to allow them to get to the code (can you say resume.ksh?), I have three options I am considering.

1. give select_catalog_role and asking them to use sqlplus (let the hatemail ensue)
2. create a new dd view based on all or dba_source and give them a synonym called ALL_SOURCE in their private schema to fool toad into seeing dba source
3. create a view in their schema called all_source that is actually a select on dba_source
4. telling them that once source is in the database it cannot be seen by anybody, even dbas.

I have heard that TOAD can use dba_source, but they have not had luck with this (might be a default role thing, have not verified).

Opinions or other options?
