As Martijn said, you cannot give another user full SYSDBA rights. However,
rights to the tables are given to SYSDBA as well as the creator of each
table (and I guess the same goes for stored procedures, views etc). So if
you write a script creating your tables/SPs etc. and make sure that script
is run by the person supposed to do the administration, (s)he should be
able to grant the rights for existing users.

Alternatively, if the databases are already in production, you could write
a script to be executed by SYSDBA which grants necessary rights WITH GRANT
OPTION.

Probably not quite what your users desire, but the best you can do and
possibly enough for them to be happy with the compromise?

HTH,
