Stephane, the idea of dropping and re-creating tables is simply preposterous. If the tables involved are bigger then 50M, then such procedure is not practical. Anyway, I don't see why would the table need to be dropped/re-created now when we can drop columns and move/rebuild tables. Fortunately for me, I am 6'4", 250 LBS, former greko-roman wrestler, so not many people do come up with such ideas on Friday afternoon.

Hi,

I do not know if it's friday afternoon or what ? The developpers want me to regenerate the grants in the development environment because they're running a script that drops and recreates a new version of the tables.
I asked them : Could you do an alter table instead ?

The developpers : What ! they'are at least 10 new fields !

I used to be a developper, I do not remember myself dropping and recreating everything each time I add a new field . Anyway in production, only the new stuff goes in.

Any comments ?
