Got it in one. I especially agree with the following bit "for some godawful and actually to my mind incomprehensible reason" because it does my head in too.
The app (which is *the* foulest I've ever had the misfortune to see) does indeed create a proc for each document. These procs are created by a load of OPS$ users but are created in the software owners schema - hence they have CREATE ANY any EXECUTE ANY. I didn't design it (actually, I don't think it was designed), and I don't like it. I have said so on numerous times, but I'm stuck with it. At least I don't have to fix it or install it unless all the 'dbas' in the other office have gone away.

It would be a lot easier if they designed the bloody thing correctly in
the first place. :o)
It started life as a flat file Cobol app, and simply 'moved' to Oracle
with one file = one table. Most tables are sadly lacking in primary
keys, schema names are hard coded into the procs and the Cobol, etc etc
and get this, when running the app, if a spacific function is chosen by
the user, it then starts another connection to the database, and does
something which instantly deadlocks with their original connection. This
happened so often, that they 'fixed' it by putting an option on the
app's menu to kill the second session - how's that then !

Ummmm ....
I wish !
And it's probably worse - I just don't want to get involved with
anything else in the bowels of this app !
And don't call me Shirley :o)
Cheers,
Norman.
I knew I was in trouble even as I typed my original post !
