So, there I am.  An Oracle DBA with a host of MS Access databases that
end-users have created to do reporting via linked tables.  Fine.

All of a sudden, one of these MS Access databases gets corrupted.  Guess
what?  It was also used to enter and hold production data!  Eek!

I would like to create an Oracle DB (8i) and allow the end user to create
and manipulate Oracle tables that they can then link to their MS Access
queries/forms/reports.  It doesn't look that that can be done using MS
Access' weak toolset.

We were guessing that we may be able to create a custom Perl CGI to have the
end-user do their own DDL on a webpage, but this seems like we might be
reinventing the wheel.

Has anyone given end-users (read: know nothing about Oracle) carte blanche
access to do their own DDL?  What tools did you use?

TIA,
