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

jared,

Thanks for explanation. Still not convinced because of following two reasons

1. Same scenario can happen with explicit privileges as well. User A grants ALL privileges on MY_TABLE to B without GRANT OPTION. Now B can create a stored procedure to do DML on MY_TABLE and grant execute permission to anybody. Which would allow user B to grant access on A.MY_TABLE, though A did not give that kind of access to user B (No GRANT OPTION).
2. To take care of this problem invokers rights facility was introduced. Then why this restriction on roles.

Please let me know if I am missing something here.

Thanks
Shaleen
