Re: can't GRANT access to another's objects as DBA - ?

It's a feature, the idea is that the owner of the data has control over who see's it, and that the owner is not necessarily someone with dba privs. The owner can bestow that right to the dba or whoever using the "with grant option". It works the same way in Oracle7 too.
