'ORA-00942: table or view does not exist' only when running within a Stored procedure

Question

This should be easy pickin's for a PL-SQL person. Before you mark this question a duplicate, please ensure that while the error message may be common that the underlying problem is the same as a previous question.

When I log onto my schema, I execute the following PL-SQL code:

DECLARE
  v_rpt_per_key NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN

  SELECT MAX(rpt_per_key)
  INTO v_rpt_per_key
  FROM rxfinods_sta.hd_invc_ln_item_dtl_stat;

  dbms_output.PUT_LINE('v_RPT_PER_KEY=' || v_rpt_per_key);

END;
/

The query executes successfully and the max value of RPT_PER_KEY is written to the Output Window in Toad.

However, when I execute essentially the same code in a procedure.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE hd_purge_test
IS
  v_rpt_per_key NUMBER := 0;
  BEGIN

    SELECT MAX(stat.rpt_per_key)
    INTO v_rpt_per_key
    FROM rxfinods_sta.hd_invc_ln_item_dtl_stat stat;
    --HD_INVC_LN_ITEM_DTL_STAT        

    dbms_output.PUT_LINE('v_RPT_PER_KEY=' || v_rpt_per_key);

    EXCEPTION
    WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
      NULL;
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    -- Consider logging the error and then re-raise
      RAISE;
  END hd_purge_test;

I get an error that the table does not exist.

[Warning] ORA-24344: success with compilation error
14/21   PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
9/4     PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
 (1: 0): Warning: compiled but with compilation errors

Since I was able to query the table when using the same credentials, this proves that my ID has access to select from the table. Shouldn't I have rights to also query the table from a stored procedure that I created underr the same logged on schema? Do some additional grants need to be executed?

Note: The procedure compiles successfully if I select from any table in the logged on schema.

Answer 1

Sounds like an issue with select privileges granted via a role, rather than directly to the schema. See ORA-00942: table or view does not exist (works when a separate sql, but does not work inside a oracle function).

Answer 2

Check that your user has a direct grant to access the table rather than a 'grant select to xxx_role'

Answer 3

Can you execute the below and then compile your procedure again:

--GRANT ALL ON <YOUR TABLE NAME> TO <YOUR USER NAME>;

GRANT ALL ON RXFINODS_STA.HD_INVC_LN_ITEM_DTL_STAT TO chadD;

This will give full permission on the object.

Answer 4

or you can do this:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE hd_purge_test

AUTHID CURRENT_USER

IS
  v_rpt_per_key NUMBER := 0;
  BEGIN

    SELECT MAX(stat.rpt_per_key)
    INTO v_rpt_per_key
    FROM rxfinods_sta.hd_invc_ln_item_dtl_stat stat;
    --HD_INVC_LN_ITEM_DTL_STAT        

    dbms_output.PUT_LINE('v_RPT_PER_KEY=' || v_rpt_per_key);

    EXCEPTION
    WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
      NULL;
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    -- Consider logging the error and then re-raise
      RAISE;
  END hd_purge_test;
