*** WARNING ***
If you revoke any privilege from PUBLIC it becomes your own responsibility to ascertain that all applications keep working, this can often be accomplished by replacing the privileges formerly granted to PUBLIC to individual users or roles. Oracle support can only assist you in accomplishing this task, however Oracle support cannot help you answer the general question of what will happen if you revoke default privileges as this depends greatly on the implementation details of any application running on a specific database.
