Good idea, Tom, but you omitted the 'to ' clause in the grant statement; it should be

select 'grant select on ' || table_name || ' to <username> with grant option;'
from user_tables

Scott,

I don't see another way to do this, but you could generate the grant statements rather quickly using sql - like

set head off
set pages 2000
spool grant.sql
select 'grant select on ' || table_name || ' with grant option;' from user_tables
/
spool off
@grant

and your question about sheep, well, it depends. are you involved with any other livestock?

I have RTFM'd re: the following problem in HPUX11, Oracle 7.3.3:

--I have user1 who has select privileges on another schema's table
(user2.tab) through "Select Any Table" privilege.

--user1 creates a view on user2.tab and grants select on the view to
other users (user3..n) through a shared role.

--When user3, et al tries to select from the view they get the infamous
"ORA-1720 - Grant option does not exist for xxx.xxx" error.

--I know you I can grant select on user2.tab with grant option to user1
and solve this, but I would rather not do that if at all possible.

--Also, I could create the view as user2 and not have the problem. The
issue here is user1 needs to create the above type of views on the fly (please! I didn't design it!!!), and with 30 sites to support, there is no way to keep up if I have to create the views one by one.

Is there any way around the situation besides the "select with grant option" clause to user1 (view owner)?
Am I an idiot?
Are sheep considered dates in TX?
