| Granting access to a schema allows use of that schema. It does not grant
| access to objects contained in the schema. You will need to do a grant for

Bruno,

thanks for your reply, yes I've found a couple of mentions
to 'write your own script/function' by searching Google.

I just hoped someone would have come across this before and
had a solution at hand :)
