??? object visibility

2001-05-08 Thread Janet Linsy

Hi all,

I got a table, when I do desc, delete, it works, but
when I do truncate, I got error table or view does
not exist.  Any idea?

SQL desc associate -- can see the table

SQL select count(*) from associate;  -- works

 1

SQL truncate table associate; -- got error below

truncate table associate
   *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist


SQL SQL delete associate;  -- works
SQL 


Thanks

Janet

My guess would be that you are actually looking at a synonym (or view)
called associate.
The table name that the synonym (or view) is referencing is probably
not called associate, hence the non-existence error when trying to truncate
the table called associate. Run the following query to verify ...
select synonym_name, table_name from user_synonyms where synonym_name
like 'ASSOCIATE';

Actually thinking about it, I should have said ...
"The table name that the synonym (or view) is referencing is probably
not called associate or is not in your current schema, hence
the non-existence error..."
