I agree with the sentiment, but suspect that addressing it to a trainer may
not exactly work. Actually addressing even Larry may not work, suppose
peoplesoft/sap whomever forget to make the change or certify the app against
10i or whatever. Will Oracle live with non-certified apps or less secure
clients than they could have if client DBAs understood the roles being
granted by the app. After all you almost never buy a db, you buy the app.
