Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Managing developers recommendations
Unfortunately that is true, I just started here and my first order of
business is to attempt to create some order out of this chaos. Currently,
all developers log in as the same user (the user who owns all of the
tables/objects of the application). My fear is that if all developers use
this account with TOAD, they will "accidentally" drop important objects
left-and-right.
Ideally I want to hold off on releasing TOAD to developers until I can lock down the development arena by doing as you said ... creating individual developer accounts.
I was just wondering if there is any interim solution such as a trimmed-down TOAD version.
(Unfortunately getting every developer to use an individual deverloper account is not an overnight process around here, there are dozens of cron jobs that run with a hardcoded username/password, etc.) So all of those processes will need to be changed so everyone can't just login and see the individual accounts.
Thanks for all the tips, you are adding to my arsenal of reasons that justify my objective of creating some order around here!!
