hi,

This is a security risk as doing this would give your developers access to all source and trigger details in the database not just the source of the APPLICATION user. A better solution would be to create a view in the application users schema that copied user_source and user_triggers for the application user and grant select access on those views to the developer users.

There are plenty of security checklists on my web site http://www.petefi nnigan.com/orasec.htm if you are interested.

kind regards

Pete
