Prevent user from deleting rows from all tables in his own schema

Hi,
How can I prevent user from deleting rows in all tables in his own schema.
I want the user to not able to delete rows from any existing or new tables that might be added in the future.
The user does not have the "DELETE ANY TABLE" system privilege.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Nowadays, I'd also avoid triggers (if possible).
Sometimes, when I daydream, I'm rewriting a few applications that I've contributed to as a newbie, and I'm very ashamed of it nowadays.
From what I've experienced, in retrospective, the emphasis on teaching 'Oracle stuff' has been lying far too much on PL/SQL row-by-row oriented processing instead of letting Oracle 'crunch' sets at once.
Most of my debugging hours ended up in discovering one or more database triggers 'doing stuff automagically'.
Another nice blogpost: http://rwijk.blogspot.com/2007/09/database-triggers-are-evil.html
Regarding OP's question:
I would just rethink/reconsider this requirement completely.
Correctly implementing privileges and roles seems the best way to go, yes.
Triggers? Nah...
pre-post-edit, noticed thread got updated just before posting
Don't know what you mean with 'namedropping', but I think it's legitimate to point other readers to interesting Oracle related opinions/articles that do have a technical background and lots of interesting examples.
post dreaded OTN outage edit (from here)
Again: I would just rethink/reconsider this requirement completely.
Both trigger/vpd are being used to hide a design flaw here.

Deleting rows from a table

COuld anyone tell me how to delete rows from a table which has millions of rows.
TIA,
Oracle user

if you are deleting all the rows, use "truncate table" in sql*plus.
or if you are deleting all but a handful of rows, then copy the rows you still want to a spare table, drop the original table, and rename the spare table back to the original table's name.
hope this helps

Oracle deleting rows from tables starting with the name PQ

hai friends
we are given access rights to delete only tables starting with PQ. HAVING PQ_NUM as primary key for all the PQ tables.
totally we have 6 tables. PQ_01,PQ_02, PQ_03,PQ_04,PQ_05,PQ_06.
ALL This tables will have one primary key. for example pq_01 willl have pq01_num as primarykey and pq_02 table will have pq02_num as primary
key.
pq01_num value will exist in all the primary key of pq tables.
i want query to delete rows from the pq tables based on the input value i give.
for example if i give primarykey value 122 then that value in pq tables should be deleted.
One more problem is there. pq_06 table does not have pq02_num column. here the column differs. it is pq06_num_req.
so give your idea of deleting the rows from pq tables
waiting

I dont have access to databse,this is untested
declare
v_cmd varchar2(2000);
columnname varchar2(30);
input_value number:=??;
tabowner varchar2(30):=???

Deleting rows from very large table

Hello,
I need to delete rows from a large table, but not all of them, so I can't use truncate. The delete condition is based on one column, something like this:
delete from very_large_table where col1=100;
There's an index (valid, B-tree) on col1, but it still goes very slow. Is there any instruction which can help delete rows faster?
Txh in adv.
A.

Your manager doesn't agree to your running an EXPLAIN PLAN? What is his objection? Sounds like the prototypical 'pointy-hair boss'.
Take a look at these:
-- do_explain.sql
spool explain.txt
-- do EXPLAIN PLAN on target queries with current index definitions
truncate table plan_table
set echo on
explain plan for
<insert query here>
set echo off
@get_explain.sql
-- get_explain.sql
set linesize 120
set pagesize 70
column operation     format a25
column query_plan     format a35
column options          format a15
column object_name     format a20
column order           format a12
column opt           format a6
select     lpad(' ',level) || operation "OPERATION",
     options "OPTIONS",
     decode(to_char(id),'0','COST = ' || NVL(to_char(position),'n/a'),object_name) "OBJECT NAME",
     cardinality "rows",
     substr(optimizer,1,6) "OPT"
from     plan_table
start     with id = 0
connect by prior id = parent_id
There are probably newer, better ways, but this should work with all living versions of Oracle and is something I've had in my back pocket for several years now. It's not actually executing the query or dml in question, just running an explain plan on it.

Delete rows from table...Bizarre problem.

Folks
i HAVE this bizarre problem.
I hava a Java class which displays data read into a table with a delete
option by the side of each row.
Now lets assume you have 3 rows in the Table.
abc deleteButton
efg deleteButton
xyz deleteButton
When I click the first delete,that row gets deleted from the table.(perfect...)
Now I have 2 rows.
When I click on the first row,I get the error
'You clicked -1'
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException: -1 < 0.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening even though there are rows in the table.???
ActionListener al = new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println("You clicked row : " + table.getSelectedRow());
javax.swing.table.TableModel model = table.getModel();
Object o = model.getValueAt(table.getSelectedRow(),0);
//System.out.print(model.getValueAt(table.getSelectedRow(), 0));
//System.out.println();
MyDeleteFunction(o.toString());
// Delete row from window.
((DefaultTableModel)table.getModel()).removeRow(table.getSelectedRow());
table.revalidate();
table.repaint();

Unable to delete rows from Target.

Hello everyone,
I am unable to delete rows from target data store. Here is what I have done.
Source Oracle 10g - staging 11g - Target Oracle 11g
I have implemented consistent set CDC on data model in staging and added 2 tables to CDC and turned on the journals . Both tables A and B are joined together via Column E (primary key of table A). Table A is the master table(has foreign key). Table B is child table. Target column consists of all the columns of both table A and B.
Following is what I am able to do and not to do
ABLE TO DO. If data is inserted into both or any of journalized tables I can successfully load the same in target by performing following steps. 1. Extend the consistency window at model level. Lock subscriber. Run the interface with any source table marked as Journalized data only. Unlock subscriber and purge journal.
ABLE TO DO. If data is updated in any of the journalized table, along with the steps mentioned above I can execute two interfaces. In one Interface table A marked as journalized data only Joined with table B and in second interface table B marked as Journalized data only joined to table a.
NOT ABLE TO DO If data is deleted from one or both tables it shows up as journalized data in JV$D<tablename> marked as D with date and subscriber name but when i run the interface by extending the window , locking subscriber executing both interfaces, unlock subscriber purge journals. no change takes place is Target. After unlocking subscriber step, journalized data gets removed from JV$D view. Please let me know what I am doing wrong here. How can rows delted from source can also be deleted from TARGET?
NOTE : In the flow table SYNC_JRNL_DELETES is YES
In moel under jounalized table tab Table have following order Table A folloed by Table B
Thanks in advance
Greenwich

Sorry I still do not get it. when you say "Its a legacy app", are you talking about the VB.NET app ?
If so then I repeat my self :-) Why not to connecting to the SQL server directly?
* even if you need information from several databases (for example ACCESS + SQL Server), in most cases, it is much better to connect directly and get each information to the app. Then in your app you can combine the information and analyse it

within one row i have one field containing the status and i want to be able to select the status from a combo/dropdown-field and set it for this particular row.
thanks in advance!

Hi,
Report BCALV_EDIT_04 shows how to append and delete rows.
Report BCALV_EDIT_06 shows drop down list for cells in a column.
These report should be available in any R/3 system including all ABAP Preview versions.
Hope this can help.

Cannot DELETE rows from LOV on running...is it a bug ??

One of the features I appreciated in the new version of JHeadstart is that we can now insert, modify and delete rows on LOV (even in the database).
We have just to check on Lookup properties :
Multi-row insert allowed
Multi-row update allowed
Multi-row delete allowed
I cheked all of them and on runnig I could insert and update records in LOV.
When I tried to delete records from LOV the system display information message "nothing to save" and in fact no records were deleted.
Normally since I checked the delete property it should be possible to delete rows from LOV
thanks for any Help

Monta,
I could reproduce this, it is a bug. Added to the fix list for the next release.
Thanks for reporting,

Forcefully delete user's "Deleted Items" from Exchange 2010 Management shell ?

After migration from Exchange 2003 to 2010 my organization's some user can't delete items from their deleted items folder, it generate a error message so how can I forcefully delete user's deleted items from their "Deleted Items folder" from
Exchange 2010 Management shell ? Thanks
Babu

Hi Babu ,
Based on my knowledge i have given some suggestions please have a look in to it.
1.We cannot use the search-mailbox command specifically for any folder in the mailbox.But we can use it for a whole mailbox.Below is the command which will copy the entire contents of the mailbox to the target folder called as "backup" .
Search-Mailbox -Identity "problematic mailbox name" -TargetMailbox "test mailbox" -TargetFolder "backup" -LogLevel Full -deletecontent
Note : Before executing the above command , please execute the below.
New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Name "Import Export_Enterprise Support" -SecurityGroup "Enterprise Support" -Role "Mailbox Import Export"
Once the above command is executed then you need to add your admin account to the security group "Enterprise Support" and then use the Search-Mailbox command to copy the entire items to the target mailbox and also it will delete all the copied
items from the original mailbox.
2.Another one option is to use the MFCMAPI tool to force delete the items on the deleted items folder.
Most importantly before doing all the above , please share me the error message what your users are facing while deleting the items from deleted items folder.
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

Deleting rows from a JTable

Hello,
I've got a JTable which is based on a 2-dimensional array, which contains my data. Now I want to delete several rows from the JTable. There's the possibility to modify my data-array by creating a new array which doesn't contain anymore the datasets I want to delete. Afterwards I can redraw the table and my rows are deleted. But I think that's a very complicated way to delete rows from a JTable. Can anybody tell me whether ther's an easier way to do so ? I'd really be pleased...
Thanx,
Findus

When you create a TableModel using a two-dimensional array or a Vector of Vectors, a DefaultTableModel is created and it stores the data in its own Vector of Vectors. The DefaultTableModel supports methods for adding/removing rows of data. To remove the first row in the table you would do something like:
DefaultTableModel model = (DefaultTableModel)table.getModel();
model.removeRow( 0 );
Note: once you create the TableModel you should set your array to null as it is not used anymore.

Delete rows from Tabular form

Hi,
Anyone knows how dynamicly delete rows from Tabular Form (on button click, button is as item)?
Thanks.

I am in a great fix. We had a test instance.. and we had a version apex 3.2.. But when the same application has been uploaded to prod.. we used apex 4.0.Why on Earth would you do this? The whole point of the testing is to verify that the application will work in the production environment: the first requirement for this is that the test and production environments are equivalent.
has any body is facing the same issue as mine..Yes, as is easily discovered by searching the forum...see Delete button doesn't work in tabular form after upgrade from APEX3.2 to 4.

Preventing users of certain status from logging in

In my user database I have a column titled "Status". The main
purpose of it is to prevent users with either a suspended account
(status: 'suspended') or an account that has not been activated yet
(stauts: 'inactive') from logging in. I used Dreamweaver's log in
wizard for my user login page, but I don't know how to prevent
users with these statuses from logging in. Can someone help me out
here?

Is this for ColdFusion or another language? There is also a
set of server
behaviors in the server behaviors panel that may be of use
that allow access
levels and restrict pages to certain groups.

Deleting rows in a table with a button

Good Day All;
I seemed to have run into a snag with trying to add a delete button in a table that will delete a row. Let me expain.
The form has 1 table that has 7 cells made up of text fields and drop downs. This table is in its own subform.
There is a button to add rows as the user requires. The code I am using to add rows: psl_list_subform.instanceManager.addInstance(1);
I have been asked to add a delete button so a user can delete rows. I have added this to the end of the table. SO each time a row gets repeated, there is a delete button. The code I am “trying” to use is;
Table4.Row1.instanceManager.removeInstance(this.parent.index);
When I click on the button to delete, nothing happens. I brought up the JavaScript debugger, there are no errors.
Any ideas what I missed.
Thanks All
Chomp

Hi,
from my understanding of your form, you adding new instances of the subform "psl_list_subform" which contains a single table row.
The hierarchy that will look like "psl_list_subform.Table4.Row1.RemoveButton".
To remove an instance of the subform, from a button within the table row the script needs to refer to the 3rd parent of the remove button.
this.parent.parent.parent.instanceManager.removeInstance(this.parent.parent.parent.index);
Explaination: this = RemoveButton, 1st parent = Row1, 2nd parent = Table4, 3rd parent = psl_list_subform
