That was it - thanks!
Forgot there were two distinct system privs - CREATE ANY SYNONYM and CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM -----Original Message-----

Bill,

Does the OWNER of the proc have CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM system priv?

I've developed a procedure that will create a public synonym on an object, which I'd eventually like to call from a ddl "after create on schema" trigger.

But I'm first working on this piece - I get an INSUFFICIENT PRIVILEGES error (ORA-1031) on the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE line. The user running the proc has both DBA role and specifically the CREATE ANY SYNONYM procedure, which should be enough. I can create the synonym manually from SQL*Plus, but never through this proc . . . any ideas?

thx

here's the code, which compiles perfectly:

CREATE OR REPLACE procedure CREATE_GRANTS (

	p_lwowner varchar2,
	p_objname varchar2,
	p_objtype varchar2) AS

pragma autonomous_transaction;

v_lwowner varchar2(30) := p_lwowner;
v_objname varchar2(30) := p_objname;
v_objtype varchar2(30) := p_objtype;
v_sql varchar2(200);

begin
	v_sql := 'create public synonym ' || v_objname || ' for ' ||
v_lwowner || '.' || v_objname;
	execute immediate (v_sql);

end;
/
