RE: Alternatives to roles in procedures?

Interesting! However, if I had shown a real-world example, I think it would've poked a hole in your excellent idea. Add schema "C" (and "D" and "E") onto this example that schema "B" also needs to access.

Ain't no way in hell the devs are gonna rewrite all of their code to accommodate Jeff T's environment, either.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm looking at the brute force method, methinks. :)

um, create the procedures in schema A and grant execute to schema B? removes the need for direct grants on the tables.
