RE: User access within/outside of app

From: Aponte, Tony <AponteT_at_hsn.net>

Message-ID: <F001.0037C39F.20010829151908@fatcity.com>

Here is a trigger that we use to change the optimizer goal at logon based on the operating system account.  You would be looking into the value of the v$session.program column instead of the OSUSER used below.  Instead of the 'alter session set optimizer.......' code you would use any of the standard security recommendations that have already been posted for you.  I saw some recommending the use of a select-only role.  You can issue a 'set role selectonlyrole'.  I would use a password-restricted role and then use 'set role selectonlyrole identified by yoursecretpassword'.  This would prevent users from undoing your trigger changes post-logon.

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER change_optimizer_on_startup

        AFTER LOGON ON DATABASE
DECLARE
        p_osuser_txt    V$SESSION_CONNECT_INFO.OSUSER%TYPE;

BEGIN
        BEGIN
                SELECT OSUSER                 INTO   p_osuser_txt

                FROM   V$SESSION                 WHERE  AUDSID = (SELECT USERENV('SESSIONID') FROM DUAL);
        EXCEPTION
                WHEN OTHERS THEN

                     p_osuser_txt:=null;

        END;

        IF p_osuser_txt IN ('psoftfs','CompOps') THEN

             BEGIN
              EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'alter session set optimizer_mode=rule';

           EXCEPTION                 WHEN OTHERS THEN

                     SYS.DBMS_SYSTEM.KSDWRT(2,TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'dd-mon-rr hh:mm:ss')||SQLERRM);

           END;
        END IF;
END; /
