Problems opening Oracle Spatial data in Bentley Map

I would say, at a minumum, that one ought to be able to limit data returned to only the currently logged-in schema account. The "utlimate" control should be done at the DB level, with the DB permissions/grants. However, it would also be helpful to maybe have a variable that would contain a list of schemas that you would like to geta dat from. Maybe the thing to do is by default, only return layers in your current schema, and utilize a variable (MSGEO_SCHEMAS ??) to list additional schema to be investigated. If you wanted all schemas in the DB, then set that variable to "ALL" or "EVERYONE". Then the DB access control would take over.

That being said, is there any way to turn on SQL tracing from inside MAP so I can try and determine why the discover process "hangs".

...unfortunately, at this time I don't believe there is a way to restrict the discovery process, but I will do some additional checking to verify that. While we're discussing this topic, how would you as an "Administrator" or "User" prefer to control the feature discovery process (e.g. define the "list" of schemas to be ignored)?

I'm pretty sure I DO NOT have DBA level access. We DO have numerous (>900) layers with entries in the ALL_SDO_GEOM_METADATA table, where the layer owner is NOT the user that I am logged in as, but I HAVE been granted "SELECT' on the tables/views of the owner listed in the ALL_SDO_GEOM_METADATA table. So, the only way to limit access is by utilizing premissions in the database - you cannot specify a list of schemas to restrict the discovery process ?

...to limit the scope of feature classes discovered during the "Register Features" process, use a user account that does not have DBA privileges. For example, using the following privilege assignments...

GRANT DELETE ON MYSCHEMA.MYTABLE TO MYUSER;

GRANT INSERT ON MYSCHEMA.MYTABLE TO MYUSER;

GRANT SELECT ON MYSCHEMA.MYTABLE TO MYUSER;

GRANT UPDATE ON MYSCHEMA.MYTABLE TO MYUSER;

...should allow MYUSER (non DBA privileged account) to access the MYSCHEMA.MYTABLE object during the "Register Features" process.
