Hope everybody had a good weekend -
Working on HP-UX and Oracle 8.1.7.0.0
I've got a third party app that 's written in COBOL and stores some of the information it needs to generate screens in the database. I am trying to practice restoring this beast, and it turns out I must run a utility to recompile some of the COBOL. All users in this database are identified externally and have OPS$ as the prefix to their username. The table(s) in question are owned by Oracle user BSIDBA. The UNIX user BSIDBA runs the program and the user in v$session shows up as OPS$BSIDBA. I get an ora-00942 on a select count (*) from one of the tables. Generally, this means some type of privilege is missing, but this user owns the table! Just in case, I granted select on the table to OPS$BSIDBA, got a 'grant succeeded', reran the COBOL piece, and got the same error.
Set up tracing, ran it again, ran tkprof against the output, and sure enough:
The following statement encountered a error during parse:
select count(*) from FA_IDNT
Error encountered: ORA-00942
I've granted everything I can think of to everyone I can find (this is - or will be - a development instance) and am still getting the error. Metalink hasn't revealed any secrets.
Anybody seen anything like this or have an idea of something else I can try - the vendor has given up, says it's a DB problem.
