database vault in test/dev

[Jeff Chirco]

Hi everyone, anyone here use Database Vault? If so wondering how you
handle Test/Dev database. For example say you have an entire schema in a
protected realm. We clone the dev database from production and mask the
data, but the developers need to be able to get in there and update code.
Do you have to go into DV and grant them access each time? We were running
our database on Windows and 11g and so disabling DV was easy but I'll admit
dumb by just renaming a dll file. Now on Linux and 12c they seem to have
made that better as you have to run a command as the DV Owner.
Curious what you practices our?

Thanks,
Jeff

Relink the binary with dv_off - same thing :)
