Dick,
"few years"? Roles were introduced in, what, Oracle7? ;-)
Time flies when you're having fun!

Been doing that for the last few years, ever since roles were introduced.

I create a developer role that combines what used to be in CONNECT and what is in RESOURCE without UNLIMITED TABLESPACE.
I always grant CREATE SESSION and do not use CONNECT -- as is seems silly to have a role with one privilege -- at least in this case.
So grant CREATE SESSION and the role and your pretty much have your generic start, and easier to administrate.

Stephen,
Nope, that was dropped back in 9i. However the unlimited tablespace option is still attached to resource which I wish Oracle would drop.

It comes from role CONNECT, and the reason is compatibility with Oracle
5, when CONNECT was a privilege and not a role (roles and privileges
were introduced with Oracle 6).
Actually, it comes from the combination of CONNECT (which grants CREATE
TABLE) with the unlimited quota (which gives the "physical possibility"
of using the system privilege).
Grant CREATE SESSION instead of CONNECT. No need for quotas.
Oh, and RESOURCE is even worse ....
