One of our app development teams started out with lots of pl/sql and
role based security, and found that roles are useless cause you have to
grant the table level privs anyway to get the procedures to work.
We are considering switching to Authid Definer for several reasons:
- Roles need only contain execute privs for the procedures (no table
level grants required)
- private synonyms not needed anymore (all objects are resolved in the
definers schema)
- No need for table level GRANTs any more (cause all procedures/funcs
run as the table/proc owner)
Sounds too good to be true. Any gotchas to switching to authid Definer?
Is this the preferred direction for app development, rather than the
role/table grants nightmare?
