Implementing an Oracle application from the test environment into a production environment requires coordination and cooperation between the application developer and the DBA.

Considerations:

For purposes of this discussion the application (schema) name will be: ABC.

All tables and indexes should be placed in named tablespaces and include appropriate storage clauses. In other words, do not take default tablespace and storage settings. This further implies that thought and consideration is given to organization and growth properties of the database.

In the test environment privileges are necessarily liberal to facilitate the development process. In the production environment privileges are necessarily conservative to insure security and integrity.

Steps and Tasks:

Design:

The ABC application is designed. This includes an initial definition of tables, and indexes.

Development:

A user ABC will be created in a test environment. ABC will have CONNECT, RESOURCE, and CREATE ROLE privileges. This should allow the developer to create the ABC application.

Upon completion of the
