Mark - Meaning I get suspicious of any package that insists on extensive privileges. I credit this suspicious nature for my continued employment as a DBA. Tony - So you are saying that I need to create a schema with these extensive privileges but somehow I don't have to give that password to the developers? Is there a way to reduce the privileges after object installation?

You say that you've found TOAD pretty safe. I would be much comforted if you said you found TOAD Xpert to be safe.

Thanks for your input.

I think the snippet refers to the installation of the objects. The TOAD user doesn't have to use schema that owns the objects in order to take advantage of the tool. We've found that TOAD is pretty safe to deploy to production environments.
