RE: PUPBLD.SQL Oracle 7.3.4 What is it? FINAL ANSWER FOUND: SECURITY FOR
SQL*PLUS
---------------------------------


Just FYI for all,

     The pupbld.sql is used for securing  the SQL*Plus application.  Period.  No
other apps reference this table at all.  It is used to avoid having users of an
application getting into the database via SQL*Plus and raising havoc.  The
Oracle SQL*Plus reference has a whole chapter (#9) dedicated to this table and
its use.

     Its interesting, shows how to even get around this table and still *break
in* to a db.  Since the Oracle client puts down sql plus on the users machine,
probably a good idea to implement security here.
