Hi Mahesh,

Could you explain why the following is working,

SQL> create table test as select * from employee;

Table created.

SQL> create synonym test_sym for employee;

Synonym created.

SQL> grant select on test_sym to chandhu;

Grant succeeded.

SQL>

Why wouldn't it work? Privileges can be granted on tables, (views, materialized views, sequences, procedures, etc. - check the documentation) as well as synonyms for any of the preceding items.

So NOT hijack other topic with unrelated question, create your own.

Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide.

Sorry for replying to that post,

But my question was related to that post,

As mahesh said v$log is a synonym for the view v_$log

My question is why can't we grant select on v$log,

but we can grant select to other synonyms .

SYS is special, SYS does not act like any other user, whatever you do with SYS will neither validate nor invalidate the same thing with any other user.
It is also true for SYS objects.

Yes BlackSwan, that is what i am asking,

why can't we grant access to v$log like normal synonym, even as sys user.

my question is : Is there any difference between normal synonyms and v$ synonyms?

Michel, i am sorry i didn't get you.

What don't you understand in what I posted?
I think it is quite clear.
Whatever applies to SYS or SYS objects does not apply to any other user or user objects and vice versa.
You in any way can compare them.

recursive definition?

SQL> select text from dba_views where view_name = 'V_$LOG';

TEXT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
select "GROUP#","THREAD#","SEQUENCE#","BYTES","BLOCKSIZE","MEMBERS","ARCHIVED","
STATUS","FIRST_CHANGE#","FIRST_TIME","NEXT_CHANGE#","NEXT_TIME" from v$log

SQL> show user
USER is "SYS"

so what is "v$log" above?
The "V$" views are not real objects but mapped to memory structures in SGA

Thank you BlackSwan for explaining,

Could you also help me find where the v$ views are mapped in SGA and how to find it

Think that all of them are, you don't need to know more.
By the way, BlackSwan did not explain anything about why you can in one case and not in another one, I wonder what you understood.

Michel
