Question

I have an schema [A], which has a package in which a function calls another schema’s[B] table [tableB].
When I compiled the package I got the error, “table or view doesnt exit” I googled and found that the error is because my package is calling another schema’s table.
Later I found that I have to grant privilage in the called schema[B]. In Schema B’s package I wrote the following code

procedure givePrivilege
begin
GRANT SELECT ON tableB TO A;
end;

Im new to Oracle and Im struck.

GRANT SELECT ON tableB
