Tom talks about proxy users

January 24th, 2005 by Pete

Post to del.icio.us   Post to Furl   Digg!

I was browsing Vattekkat Satheesh Babu's Oracle feed of feeds and found an interesting post by Tom Kyte on his Ask Tom site where someone asked a question about the difference between a normal database user and a proxy user and also about FGA might work with proxy users.

Tom’s answer which also includes some input by David Knox is a very good discussion on the subject of proxy users and how they work. There is a little example code and some well thought out and written explanations. The post about proxy users and FGA can be found on Toms site and is well worth reading.
