RE: Developer access in test database

I grant them full access to their own schema. The production schema owner in TEST databases is still controlled by DBAs. I do grant them selected '... any ...' privileges as needed, in the TEST databases excluding 'select any table'. No one gets it. Instead I grant them select_catalog_role to view SYS owned views etc. In addition, I have created a TOAD_USER role for them to use TOAD fully without running into any problems. These things have cut down a lot of very basic questions and calls from Developers. However, one size does not fit all. This is all dependent on how developement work is done in your particular environment. In my previous job, no one bothered to change sys and system passwords and it was a true 'open systems' environment when it came to TEST/DEV work !!

As little as they need. I, as a general rule, only grant to the objects they are actually using. One way to look at it is you will always know which grants to move over to test and prod. Now, the group I work with grant select on any table which I have mixed feelings about. With the amount of tables we are dealing with it sure makes life easier. Most of them do not need to even update the application tables as batch loads take care of that (for the most part).

In our test databases, I have always granted select,insert,update,delete any table to the developers.  

While yesterday, one updated a "sys" table.  

Be non-production, I always felt if it is destroyed can always be recreated.  

What table privileges do you grant in "test".
