Ok, I haven't had to deal with privileges much lately but this one had be
stumped for a while, V8.1.7 Tru64.
This is from an account with minimal privileges:
SQL> select count(*) from sys.obj$;
select count(*) from sys.obj$
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL> connect sys
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> grant select on obj$ to utility;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> connect utility/xxxx
Connected.
SQL> select count(*) from sys.obj$;
COUNT(*)
----------
37742
SQL> create view o_by_vlo as select name, obj# from sys.obj$;
create view o_by_vlo as select name, obj# from sys.obj$
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL> connect sys
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> grant select on obj$ to utility with grant option;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> connect utility/xxxx
Connected.
SQL> create view o_by_vlo as select name, obj# from sys.obj$;
View created.
. . .
So it would seem that with grant option is needed to create a view on
another schema's tables. It took a little thinking on my part to realize
that this makes sense as the view owner would be able to grant privileges on
the underlying tables. Incidentally, I also found out that you can't use
the grant option within roles. I wonder why?
