Been there, tried that, failed miserably. Without the support of upper
management and a strong software policy your sunk. About the only thing you can
do is set up a non default role that the application activates on startup. But
of course if your application is a purchased one, like PeopleSoft, that is just
about impossible.

Hi Gurus
Has anyone ever had to prevent users from accessing the Database from other
applications other than those sanctioned by the company.
ie prevent users accessing the database using Microsoft's Access and yet
still be able to access via the company application which also uses ODBC.
OR preventing users accessing the DB via sqlplus but still through the app.
I would appreciate any knowledge that can be shared on this topic.
Many Thanks
Denham
