Well, recovery might be just a wee bit faster then re-loading few gigs of data using SQL. Also, developers on that DW might lose any work that they haven't done the night before. This is a production database, which means that it absolutely must be in archive log mode. One of the big reaso

Um, roles, privileges, etc are administered however you'd like. The only suggestion I'm making is that rather than having public synonyms for all objects in your app_owner schema, each user which needs default access to the objects in the app_owner schema, gets access to that schema via the logo
