How about redefining copies of the relevant data dictionary views for RO_USER to suit your purposes?

> Hi all,

> I am trying to create a read-only login, RO_USER which can do the
following:

schema,

> 2. See all the source for PL/SQL objects in APP.

> The first bit is easy: GRANT SELECT on tables, views to RO_USER.

> Not sure about the second bit. I have tried granting CREATE ANY PROCEDURE
> and CREATE ANY TRIGGER to RO_USER and using a DDL trigger to prevent these
> privileges actually being used to create procedures/triggers. This works

> My other concern is granting SELECT on sequences as this means that they
> can select nextval from them and hence increment the numbers (not quite
> read-only!)
>
> Any suggestions for fixing these problems would be much appreciated!
