All
Is it possible to grant access to two tablespaces to a user when they are
created.
We have a set of table in tablespace1 and the Audit tables in tablespace
two. Some users need access to both areas
Can we do this

CREATE user user1 identified by XXXX default tablespace1, tablespace2.

if not how can I grant access to the second table to user1

When creating a role to assign to a user, is it better to grant schema
privileges to the role than to the User.

I am creating a role role1 with Connect and resource privileges. but I want
User1 to have SELECT, INSERT and UPDATE on schema1 owned by owner1

So is it better to do this

Create role role1
grant select, insert update on Schema1 objects to role1

creat user1
grant role1 to user1

User1 will be used in a connection string to have database access from a VB
application

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Kind-of-a funny statement, don't you think? ... 'default' is the one used
when nothing else is specified, so how would it be able to decide between
the two?

What you want is to Grant a specific quota (or UNLIMITED use) in a
TABLESPACE to the user.

Check out the GRANT statement in the SQL Language Reference Manual, or under
the SQL Syntax section at http://www.yqcomputer.com/ You might also check out
the 'CREATE USER' syntax while you are there.

Or, if you can't be bothered with documentation, fire up the Oracle
Enterprise Manager and point-n-click your way to happiness.

There is, in the sense I think you assume, a relationship between tables
and tablespaces. The table owner needs quota on the tablespace ...
not someone accessing the table.

That said:
1. Create a role with the permissions required
2. Assign the role to the user
