Where can we get a list of the bugs in freeware TOAD? Patrice.
-----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 10:50 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <rant> Man, I hope not. The complete reversal of the security in TOAD from "deny all / grant some" to "grant all / deny some" in 7.3 made maintenance a nightmare (we're stuck at v7.2 for this reason). Security granted by default is not security -- it's a welcome mat with the key tucked underneath. This problem has been compounded by the lack of version specified in the call to DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE that TOAD does. If it had this, I could use a logon trigger to weed out "non-standard" versions of TOAD on our production DBs. I'm not looking to hamper our devs, just help prevent them or TOAD from making happy accidents. So now, if the freeware version's updated, I'll have zero control over who uses what version of TOAD against our DBs. And if the freeware version is using the "new and improved" security-less model, it's an open door.
