Re: possible to dynamicly connect to a different user in pl/sql?

I think that there are two reasons to do it:

1. You need permissions that are granted to another user
2. You need to work in another schema and you have permissions to these objects.

In 1) you can grant yourself the necessary permissions. in 2) try execute immediate 'alter session set current schema' (I did not check if this will work in PL/sql.
