RE: unable to create stored outline for sql inside a procedure --

Oracle has very good reason to have this role limitation.  

Suppose you have a role role_a. Through this role you have access to a table table_b. Now you create a procedure that accesses table_b. An assume that your privileges are valid through role only.  

And some wise guy/gal comes in and revokes the role ... what happens next?  

To avoid this situation, Oracle requires that if you will be referring the objects inside stored code, you need EXPLICIT privileges. Create any outline now makes sense because now all the tables will be in on schema.

All,  

Oracle support was able to resolve this issue for me and I would like to share the learning. The problem was that I was unable to create stored outline for sql executing within a stored procedure after turning create_stored_outlines=true. Create outlines for sql satetements executing from sqlplus/plsql blocks was not an issue.  

The problem is resolved by granting create any outline privilege to the user explicitly.  

Once I again I was bit by the limitation of roles not passing privilege within stored procedures and this has to be done explicitly. Why oracle has this limitation beats me!!  

Thanks for help Jared & Raj.
