Oracle 11g: sqlplus: though tables queried do exist, I get a 'table does not exist' when running query, why?
Posted on 2013-01-04
Hello Experts,
Oracle 11g: via sqlplus: connected to db successfully.
I run: SELECT table_name FROM all_tables;
I get all tables available....
However, when I try to simple query such:
SELECT * FROM tableName;
I get: table does not exist
is this a permission issue?
Is there a way via the command line to know what permissions I have?

If you are in schema "A" and select table_name from all_tables, you will get the table_names in other schemas to which you have been granted access. So, for example, your first query returned a table_name of tab1, but it belonged to schema "B", when you select * from tab1 you will get the table or view does not exist message. However, you should be able to get results by qualifying the table_name with the schema - select * from B.tab1.

Selecting from all_tables will show you all tables that the user you are connected to has access to see - not necessarily all the tables that user owns.
Try this instead:
select owner, table_name from all_tables;
Is the table you are trying to select from owned by another user ?
Taking the output from that query, you can then do:
select * from owner.tableName;
Try that, let us know if that resolves the issue.

Look at the timestamps of the replies. Less than 2 minutes between them.

I'm trying, I really am. But I've seen so many wrong approaches involving date(time) boundaries I despair about my inability to explain it. I've seen quite a few recently that define a non-leap year as 364 days, or 366 days and the list goes on.

It is possible to export the data of a SQL Table in SSMS and generate INSERT statements. It's neatly tucked away in the generate scripts option of a database.
