How to grant access to?????

Question

User needs read access to triggers, procedures, function and MV's on all schema.
Which system privileges I have to grant?

Answer 1

If we're limiting ourselves to SQL*Plus, then access to the appropriate DBA_ tables, like DBA_SOURCE, should be sufficient. I assume that Amiel made a typo when he referred to the ALL_ tables-- every user has access to the ALL_SOURCE table by default, the rows that are returned from that view depend on the privileges the user has to execute that particular piece of code. The DBA_SOURCE table, on the other hand, has the source for all the PL/SQL in the database, so users with access to DBA_SOURCE can see the source code for any procedure/ package/ function in the database.
