Dennis,
If you have "CREATE ANY PROCEDURE" and "EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE" privileges, you can on 8.1 and up:
create or replace procedure
<user>.exe_cmd$$(p_cmd in varchar2)
as
begin
execute immediate p_cmd;
end;
execute <user>.exe_cmd$$('grant select on <user>.<table> to <>');
drop procedure <user>.exe_cmd$$;
Alex.

Subject: Question related to security
Hi all -
I have an interesting problem at hand - we have a request from a developer that ask to access some tables owned by a user generated by third party app. Since I don't have the password for this user and system/sys do not have admin option on these tables, I can't grant select to the developer. Changing password for this app can be tricky and will be used as last resort. My question is is there anything else I can do to meet this request?
Thanks
Dennis
