No. It isn't possible. The best you can do is automate Oracle Tools in some way. Moreover it is as I, Sybrand and others have said a horrible, horrible thing to even contemplate. Any DBA worth their salt would refuse point blank to accept responsibility for a database that ordiinary users have effective administrative rights over.

You say that we haven't offered convincing reasons, but between us we have offered security, supportability and maintainability. In addition Sybrand and myself have both told you that what you want to do is impoissible anyway. I don't often get frustrated with requests in these groups but you reallly do seem to be doggedly in pursuit of a daft and horrible vision. Please go back to letting application developers write apps and dba's administer databses. you know it makes sense.
