Re: Protecting tables and views?

You certainly can grant or revoke object privileges for your *own* objects. More than that, nobody except owner and those granted by owner WITH GRANT OPTION can grant or revoke object privileges for owner's objects (even DBA). And your data is already protected from all users except those having SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE ANY TABLE system privilege (which only DBA should have), which still doesn't allow such users to grant access to your objects to other users. You can also use virtual private database (VPD) aka Fine Grained Access Control (FGAC) to control access to your data further on by applying filtering conditions to any adhoc query ran against your data.
