We are login as "userA" and tried to issue following SQL command and failed. create view table1 as select * from userb.table1; ERROR at line 1: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges "userA" can run "select * from userb.table1;" without problem. I even grant "dba" right to "userA". this "create View ..." still failed. any ideal? -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
