While we're at it, I notice that the 'Use DBA views if available' option doesn't work well with Compare User Objects for production vs dev/test environments at my current site, because even though my local account can access the DBA views, my read-only production account can't. I normally have the option checked, but when I want to compare something with production I have to go to preferences and uncheck it first to avoid a 'ORA-00942: table or view does not exist' error from the Target Schema dropdown when it tries to query dba_users. (Or, I've just discovered, select the target user from the list locally before connecting to the target session.) Maybe there could be a preference panel for Compare User Objects with this sort of thing on it.
