DBA role

I am a developer contracted to a large utility company. This is my
first job out of university. I have been working in IT for 2 years
now. My work involves application development, maintenance, and
support, Business Objects reporting and universe development. The DBA
where I work will not give me the DBA role in the production instance,
although I have the DBA role in the development instance. Is this
reasonable, or is he being a control junkie?

reasonable

you probably really don't need the DBA role in the development instance,
unless you're doing DBA stuff

since Oracle 6, the DBA role probably really should not be used very much --
it's too broad in the privileges it groups together. generally it's a better
idea to have some more tailored roles created that match up better with what
different developers actually need to be able to do

Reasonable!
You've offered no "proof" that you required the DBA role.
Developer <> DBA.

How do I grant all privileges for a schema that has a large number of existing tables, procedures, functions, etc to a newly created role, without having to issue a grant statement for each object and each privilege? I want the role to have all of the rights of the schema owner. Is there any kind of blanket granting of all privileges to a role?

I'm familiar with membership/roles in ASP.NET 2.0. Rather than the more common directory restriction, I need page part restrictions. There are certain parts of my webpages that I need visible if you are in a particular role. So maybe the "go to billing" button is only visible if you are in "plan1" role. What is the correct method/model to implement that type of role restriction? Will I need to put in a conditional for each component...

I have a user object that is set when a user logs in. There are also permissions that I get about the user from a web service. Currently I take the results from those web services and store them as XML in the user object so I can parse it when I need to look at them. I wanted to turn the xml permissions into ROle objects, but does that mean that my User class needs to make reference to the Role class? User class example class User{
