Dennis - In reflecting on your question, I have to wonder whether you don't have a larger problem. Since your email address doesn't end in "cia.gov", I have to ask whether you as a DBA can adequately manage this application. If I were given this request, I would tell the developer "let's go find the person who can authorize your access and they will have the password". I have forgotten the password for some userids, but I would be reluctant to take responsibility for an application where we didn't have the password. Just my 2 cents worth.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 3:05 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 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?
