I want to assign permissions for a user to see the EMP table

168 views Asked by At

Error says table does not exist. My question is why do I get the error?

SQL> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON system.emp to chap7;
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON system.emp to chap7
                                           *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

The table does exist,

 SQL> select ename from emp;

Perhaps the EMP table isn't owned by SYSTEM? Do:

SELECT owner FROM all_tables WHERE table_name = 'EMP'

Also, what user are you doing the GRANT and SELECT as?
