Question

According to select name from system_privilege_map System has been granted:

SELECT ANY TABLE 

…and lots of other * ANY TABLES.

Plainly running

select * from the_table; select * from the_table; 

…nets the given response:

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

I can log in as that user and run the same command just fine.

I’m running under the assumption I should be able to run queries (select in this case) agaisnt a general user’s DB table. Is my assumption correct, and if so, how do I do it?

Answer 1

If the_table is owned by user ‘some_user’ then:

select * from some_user.the_table;
