Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Using TOAD on production databases
Good, once that is cleared up, remember that TOAD obeys all roles and oracle privs.

The only system privilege my developers have is create session. PERIOD.
Nobody gets anything else.
We do grant roles that give SELECT access to some tables. We don't grant any insert, update, delete privileges to any roles.
So, lets say the developer has valid reason to access production data and has SELECT privilege on some tables, what exactly does TOAD give this developer above and beyond what I give him as a DBA?

Subject: Re: Using TOAD on production databases
There are many words in your first statement that are an security
auditor's dream. I bet Pete F.
is using mapquest to find fastest route to your office right now.
So, let me get this straight, ON PRODUCTION database you are worried
that developers accessing
SYS/SYSTEM objects so you will block them. Great. But you don't have a
problem if they acces
production data?? Sarbanes-Oxley ... and I think you work for a BIG
financial company right??=20
Developers shouldn't be connecting to production database without a
valid reason ... period. And
no metter which site writes what, the only way to incorporate security
is to use TOAD security.=20
RTFM the TOAD stuff, it is all explained there.
BTW don't give me any roles but grant me 'execute any procedure' and
give me 2 minutes, I'll
probably be able to revoke all your roles ... least I'll grant myself
DBA role ...
