I create an user account and grant "select any table" for someone to query database tables that belongs to SCOTT schema. In order to describe table structure that belongs to SCOTT he has to type. SQL> describe SCOTT.tablename; He asks me is there a way to query SCOTT object without typing "SCOTT." in front of table name? Also, how do I create an account and grant all SCOTT's privileges to him? I want his account exactly to be the same as SCOTT.
