Speaking as both a DBA and a developer, I require myself to put every grant into a script table when I develop an application. This why the grants, tables, indexes, views, etc can be rebuilt at will. and speaking as a DBA, Alter the damn table and modify your create scripts.

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 ?
