You may be thinking of the 'proxy user' feature:
alter user xxx grant connect through yyy with role rrr;
However, the features that this enables are currently
available only through OCI programming at present.
The other thing you may be thinking of is
alter session set current_schema = XXX;
which you can embed into a database logon
trigger using 'execute immediate'

|Help!!,
|
|Can anyone shed some light on this or am I just going mad!!.
|
|We have a situation whereby multiple users need to access (both
selects and
|dml) tables belonging to 1 specific schema, this must also be
achieved
|without prefixing the tables with the userid as the SQL is driven by
the
|application and is not configurable.
|
|My original idea was to use synonyms but I am sure that I have read
|somewhere that in 8i there was an alternative to this whereby a user
can be
|set up to use another users schema eg. USERA when logged on will
effectively
|be treated as if they are logged on as USERB. I have searched every
bit of
|documentation I can find (manuals, metalink etc) but can find no
mention of
|this, have I just dreamn't this or can someone shed some light.
|
|Many thanks for any replies.
|
