not until the 9i world, you must login as the schema owner or build a procedure to be able to do it.

Hi,
I'm trying to grant SELECT privileges on some tables in schema X to userid Y. I'm currently connected as SYS. But when I try typing
GRANT SELECT ON X.MYTABLE TO Y;
...I get an ORA-01031 error - Insufficient Privileges.
Now I thought SYS had all the necessary privileges to do this - i.e. granting access on user X's tables to user Y. But it appears not! Am I missing something here, or is this another one of those loveable Oracle quirks which enrich our lives so much?
Oh, by the way, it's Oracle 8.1.7.
