Stéphane,

    Your not alone. I like having one schema that owns all of the objects and a second or more that manipulate the data therein. The reason is that many times the passwords for the other user accounts get hard coded into software making them almost impossible to change. This way if the person who was maintaining the application leaves you can change the password there to do maintenance without breaking everything. Also if you do get a hacker in, it's a lot harder to have to delete everything vs drop a table.

Hi all,

I'm a fan of having the processing done by a user different than the owner of the data.
Am I alone ?

For example, we're on a datawarehouse system where the data owner is DWH. The etl tool repository owner is TOOL_POWERMART and the reporting tool repository owner is TOOL_BOWEBI. The etl processing is done by user DWH_PM_TRTMNT and the reporting processing is done by user DWH_BO_TRTMNT.

This way, nobody is connecting as the data's owner. The developpers and Informatica (Powermart) consultant would prefer working directly as DWH.

What do you think ?
