Dave,

You can use the following :

alter session set current_schema = USERB

Check out the SQL Reference manual - Chapter 7 SQL Statements, ALTER SESSION
(page 387)

Help!!,

Can anyone shed some light on this or am I just going mad!!.

We have a situation whereby multiple users need to access (both selects and
dml) tables belonging to 1 specific schema, this must also be achieved
without prefixing the tables with the userid as the SQL is driven by the
application and is not configurable.

My original idea was to use synonyms but I am sure that I have read
somewhere that in 8i there was an alternative to this whereby a user can be
set up to use another users schema eg. USERA when logged on will effectively
be treated as if they are logged on as USERB.  I have searched every bit of
documentation I can find (manuals, metalink etc) but can find no mention of
this, have I just dreamn't this or can someone shed some light.

Many thanks for any replies.

Dave Leach
