We used to have roles enabled by application front end . That was not secure . Then oracle provided passwords for role . We embedded passwords into apps . They say its still not secure .
Now go for contexts and enable policies.
In oracle 9i you can have global context which can be enabled by any session . Now here  i am confused ..
How does this thing is secure, cuz any session can say my context is "MANAGER' or "CLERK" or whatever . Isn't it back to the roles initially where any session can say heyyy enable role "MANAGER" ( offcourse if its granted ).
