hmmm, maybe should have thought about this before now?
Anyway - here's a link to show the basic needs of adding modifying users
from an application. Your user, is it the DB owner? I suspect you have
created all manner of objects in the DB and some are SYSDBA (probsbly owner)
and many other objects have been created as the other user you created. This
isn;t a good recipe for deployment.
You need to read about roles as well.
I suggest you extract the metadata, create the db as a user which is not
sysdba, then ensure all objects are created by this user, then create a
role, then grant all on all objects to that role.
Then ensure your app logins in as that role, or manage the roles in a more
sophisticated way.
