Hi,

I need to give some partners to a read only subset of my data. I'm currently looking at schemas, not something I've looked at or used before.

Can I use schemas to create a virtual DB (built by views) onto my main DB? Or is this a dead end thought?

Cheers,

Bob

You should look at views. Of course placing all related views in single schema
is a good idea..
