misc security questions

Greetings all,

I'm a (fairly green) dev trying to define roles & db object perms in Designer & after doing some reading (chapters in FM & oracle complete reference) still have some questions I thought y'all might be able to help me with. My db is version 8.1.6. Here they are:

Do I need to grant users privs on tables referenced in an EXCEPTIONS INTO clause on a constraint?

Do I need to grant EXECUTE privs on *both* a package and it's constituent procs/functions? If not, what are the implications of doing one or the other?

If I understand things properly, a user is not able to create a view that references a table in another schema if the user has the SELECT priv only through a role--they've got to be granted that SELECT priv personally
(right?). Are there any other privs that have to be granted to personally
like this? (Bonus question: what is the rationale for this requirement?)

Thanks!

-Roy
