I am working on scripts that will create tables and users, grant permissions, etc. every night on a clean copy of our db. Without dbms_sys_sql, I would have to connect to other users to do the grants. I don't want passwords anywhere in my scripts, I want to connect once then run everything from this one user. dbms_sys_sql takes in a userid and sql text
(plus a couple of other things) and runs the sql as that user.

Linda,

you should be using dbms_sql instead, which incidentally is *very* stable. What feature of dbms_sys_sql you need but isn't provided by dbms_sql? I am just curious ...
