Hi, The schema dwhdata needs to grant the select privilege directly to the schema L2930, for L2930 to be able to create the view. Regards Pete -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Daiminger, Helmut Sent: 27 April 2004 13:46 To: 'LazyDBA.com Discussion'; 'oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Why does this "create view" statement fail? Hi! I am experiencing something weird here... I am the user L2930 (with DBA role). When I issue a select statement to select data from another user's table, it works fine: SQL> select count(beadat) from dwhdata.b3000t; COUNT(BEADAT) ------------- 3 Now I want to put that exact select statement in a view: SQL> create view testview as select beadat from dwhdata.b3000t with read only; create view test as select beadat from dwhdata.b3000t with read only * ERROR at line 1: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges That doesn't make much sense to me... Any ideas? This is 9.2 on HP-UX 11i.
