Re: unable to create stored outline for sql inside a procedure --

[garg]

Raj,   Revoking a role on just a whim is a very dangerous thing and I think that could be a costly mistake for the wiseguy. This role could be used in places other than stored procedures as well. I consider revoking a role and revoking an explicit privilege the same level of mischief and still dont agree with this concept.   my 02 cents   -Shaleen ----- Original Message ----- From: Jamadagni, Rajendra To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Wednesday, December 25, 2002 9:28 AM Subject: RE: unable to create stored outline for sql inside a procedure -- Oracle has very good reason to have this role limitation.   Suppose you have a role role_a. Through this role you have access to a table table_b. Now you create a procedure that accesses table_b. An assume that your privileges are valid through role only.   And some wise guy/gal comes in and revokes the role ... what happens next?   To avoid this situation, Oracle requires that if you will be referring the objects inside stored code, you need EXPLICIT privileges. Create any outline now makes sense because now all the tables will be in on schema.   Raj ______________________________________________________ Rajendra Jamadagni              MIS, ESPN Inc.

The problem was that I was unable to create stored outline for sql executing within a stored procedure after turning create_stored_outlines=true. Create outlines for sql satetements executing from sqlplus/plsql blocks was not an issue.   The problem is resolved by granting create any outline privilege to the user explicitly.   Once I again I was bit by the limitation of roles not passing privilege within stored procedures and this has to be done explicitly. Why oracle has this limitation beats me!!   Thanks for help Jared & Raj.   Shaleen
