Dennis,

I have some end-users that bought Toad and they do not have these privs. They have not even created the Toad Schema objects. They do not need to do this to use Toad, and I agree with you - they would not get those privs in any environment of mine.

Just because they bought something doesn't mean they get to use all of the functions.

Subject: RE: TOAD Xpert privileges

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.
