Stéphane,

    Your not alone.  I like having one schema that owns all of the objects and a
second or more that manipulate the data therein.  The reason is that many times
the passwords for the other user accounts get hard coded into software making
them almost impossible to change.  This way if the person who was maintaining
the application leaves you can change the password there to do maintenance
without breaking everything.  Also if you do get a hacker in, it's a lot harder
to have to delete everything vs drop a table.

Hi all,

I'm a fan of having the processing done by a user
different than the owner of the data. 
Am I alone ?

For example, we're on a datawarehouse system where the
data owner is DWH. The etl tool repository owner is
TOOL_POWERMART and the reporting tool repository owner
is TOOL_BOWEBI. The etl processing is done by user
DWH_PM_TRTMNT and the reporting processing is done by
user DWH_BO_TRTMNT.

This way, nobody is connecting as the data's owner.
The developpers and Informatica (Powermart) consultant
would prefer working directly as DWH.

What do you think ?
