OWA_SEC

[Charles]

Good Afternoon, All

I am fairly new to Oracle and PL/SQL programming. I am currently
working on a time management system using PL/SQL and need to implement
security. The package my supervisor referenced is the OWA_SEC package.

I found reference at the Oracle site but for a novice is is sparse in
its explanation. Does anyone have a recommendation to a book that will
help explain it in detail and how to implement it?

Your kind assistance is greatly appreciated.

http://tahiti.oracle.com
contains all/most of of Oracle's doc. sets.
I hope you don't mind a little RTFM.

Why OWA_SEC. It certainly wouldn't be my first choice of ways to
implement security.

Can you explain a bit more about the application and environment?

Well, if I understand your question...the application is a PL/SQL
procedure that generates HTML to display an HTML form for input of
time. I have drop down lists that I populate with a cursor and blank
form input fields to input hours each day. Then there is a comments
field at the end of each line.

The procedures run from a UNIX environment.

The boss wants us to use the OWA_SEC package...

This is not the only package I want to learn about so I may increase
my knowledge but I figured it was a good start since I am being
requested to implement, etc...

Thanks
