When I have a sql statement like select * from table1, it works great, but as soon as I put it into a function, I get:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

There are a couple of things you could look at. Based on your question, it looks like the function owner is different from the table owner.
1) Grants via a role : In order to create stored procedures and functions on another user’s objects, you need direct access to the objects (instead of access through a role).
2)
If you created a table in Schema A and the function in Schema B, you should take a look at Oracle’s Invoker/Definer Rights concepts to understand what might be causing the issue.
