Ian, Probably the O7_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY parameter which is set to FALSE by default in 9i is causing you problems. It defaulted to TRUE in prior releases. When set to FALSE, it will not allow 'select any table' to work on SYS owned tables. However, access to tables owned by other schemas is not affected. You may try setting this parameter to TRUE.

I have installed my own space management spaces. It measures growth of objects and tablespace usage and works well in Oracle 8i. The package does not work well with the 9i SYS tables; it returns "table or view does not exist", when calling dbms_space.unused_space. I'm not sure if this is for all SYS tables or just a few. The owner of the package has select any table, select any dictionary, and I even tried the "under any view" privilege, but no luck. The select any table privilege, N.B., this is a privilege not a role, which obviously must be judiciously given, allowed, one running Oracle 8i to write packages referencing SYS objects without having to do individual grants on the tables. It is still doing so for non-SYS tables, the calls to dbms_space work fine for them. Any idea on the SYS tables? Must they be granted individually?
