Good day listers,

We have some developers that would like to see all the
package bodies in our data warehouse. This is a
reasonable request.

The developers use Toad, which used the ALL_SOURCE
view.

I pulled the code for all_source and discovered that
the execute_any priv exclusion is hardcoded in this
view.

Rather than granting them EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE to
allow them to get to the code (can you say
resume.ksh?), I have three options I am considering. 

1) give select_catalog_role and asking them to use
sqlplus (let the hatemail ensue)
2) create a new dd view based on all or dba_source and
give them a synonym called ALL_SOURCE in their private
schema to fool toad into seeing dba source
3) create a view in their schema called all_source
that is actually a select on dba_source
4) telling them that once source is in the database it
cannot be seen by anybody, even dbas.

I have heard that TOAD can use dba_source, but they
have not had luck with this (might be a default role
thing, have not verified).

Opinions or other options?

Jack Silvey
