As I am doing the extra checks for doing FK checks, I have stumbled upon

a problem, here is the scenario:

  User A creates table A1, and grants references on table to user B.   user B creates table b1 and sets fk to point to a(a1).

Nowhere I have been able to find the reference that user B has made to user a's a1 table. The assumption here is NEITHER has access to any DBA

views. I have looked at all_dependencies, all_constraints, all_cons_columns to no avail.

I realize that unless user A has alter any table that the FK could NOT be reset anyways, but I'd like to warn the user that there is a FK that may not be able to be reset AFTER the new table is created with out the column that they wanted dropped.

I think the best i can do at this point, is let the user know if there has been references granted to some user for that table, based on info out of all_tab_privs_made.

Any ideas would be appreciated, thanx, joe
