The SYSDBA user exists already.

An ordinary user can't grant permissions to self nor to any other user. > I’ve tried numerous tables but I get the same response. > I have tested the user on the Example database “EMPLOYEE” and have > no problems accessing any table on that. AFAIR, all the tables in the employee database have rights granted to PUBLIC. This isn't something you should do with a real-life database, though. > Can you possibly help me or point me in the right direction? If you don't know the db owner's credentials then log in as SYSDBA. If you post again, would you please exclude all the company stuff in the sig of your posting.
