The procedure owner needs the relevant privileges granted directly, not via a role.

Subject: Re: dbms_metadata.get_ddl Error

Here is the exact call and the user calling this procedure has DBA as well as the procedure owner:

select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('INDEX','MY_TAB_IDX5','OPS$ORACLE') into v_index_info from dual;

The ironic thing is a similar select works just fine from SQLPLUS, but inside the procedure it fails with ORA-31603.

Thanks,
Abdul

How are you calling dbms_metadata.get_ddl (i.e. are you passing the correct schema to it)?

second, the calling user does have the rights to do this on the index's schema?

We have a procedure which calls dbms_metadata.get_ddl to get the ddl for an index & this works fine for objects (indexes) owned by the same user as my procedure. For all other objects I get the error below. I have an SR open with Oracle for several days now, but no solution has been given. Any advise would be appreciated.

Environment: Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 on Sun Solaris 2.10.

		Here is the error:
		ORA-31603: object "MY_TAB_IDX5" of type INDEX not found

in schema "OPS$ORACLE"
