Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> accessing user_users via a procedure in SYS
Hi,
I am trying to put together a package that uses the AUTHID current_user directive to decide whether to let people kill a session or not, and I ran into a problem.
One procedure will run as SYS, but I need to double-check the requester's username to ensure he/she isn't trying to kill their neighbour's session.
To do that I build a function that runs with the AUTHID current_user directive and tries to select username from user_users. Hopefully it will be able to pass back the username to the parent proc.
When I try to run a procedure that does a select against user_users using
that directive, I get an error:
PLS-00357: Table,View Or Sequence reference 'USER_USERS' not allowed in this
context
I found tech note 162489.1, according to that, shouldn't user_users work as well?
