Insufficient privilages in creating view

HI,
when I m trying to create a view in my system it gives me an error as insufficient privileges. I dont why ????

select t.empno vw_id, t.ename, t.job, t.sal from emp t;
Details of error
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
i believe i m the admin on my system. how do i grant privileges to create a view to myself or any other alternative....

If you log in as a privileged user (i.e. SYSTEM), you would need to
GRANT CREATE VIEW TO scottto give Scott permission to create a view.
As for seeing whether you have that privilege, the simplest solution is to query the SESSION_PRIVS view while logged in as Scott.
SELECT *
FROM session_privs;Does that show that you have the CREATE VIEW privilege?

Insufficient privileges to create view

Hi! I am working with some software that creates views in certain situations. For whatever reason, Oracle indicated that the user does not have sufficient privileges to create views although I can create procs, functions, triggers, etc.
Can anyone help me with this issue?

Reiteration I know, but Nicolas' point is almost certainly the cause: having CREATE VIEW privilege does not mean that you magically get the rights to see the data in the objects your view references.
Example:
User FRED creates table ABC:
CREATE TABLE ABC AS SELECT * FROM DUAL;
He then allows user TERRY to insert into the table:
GRANT INSERT ON ABC TO TERRY;
Terry creates a view of that table:
CREATE VIEW ABC_V AS SELECT * FROM FRED.ABC;
Terry tries to select from his view:
SELECT * FROM ABC_V;
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
That sort of thing.

Insufficient Privileges when create materialized view as user system

If I login as system (connect sys/****@DevDB) and try to create a materialized view for another schema (e.g. XDCONTROLDB), I get the insufficient privileges error. If I login as sys as sysdba then I can create successfully.
I have searched some ariticles in Google and grant create any snapshot, create any table, create any view, global query rewrite, select any table system privileges to system but still get the same error.
Any other privileges I need to grant to system?
Cheers
below is a sample script to create the view which get the error:
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW XDControlDB."XDTest1" PCTFREE 10
PCTUSED 0 MAXTRANS 255
STORAGE ( INITIAL 64K NEXT 0K MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS
2147483645 PCTINCREASE 0)
TABLESPACE "USERS"
BUILD IMMEDIATE
REFRESH COMPLETE START WITH sysdate NEXT sysdate + 1/24
ENABLE QUERY REWRITE AS
SELECT * From XDControlDB.RiskInstance;

Thanks for your reply. After I grant privileges to system, I login as system and try to create the view as below which I get the insufficient privileges error:
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW XDControlDB."XDTest1" PCTFREE 10
PCTUSED 0 MAXTRANS 255
STORAGE ( INITIAL 64K NEXT 0K MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS
2147483645 PCTINCREASE 0)
TABLESPACE "USERS"
BUILD IMMEDIATE
REFRESH COMPLETE START WITH sysdate NEXT sysdate + 1/24
ENABLE QUERY REWRITE AS
SELECT 1 From XDControlDB.RiskInstance;
As you can see, I try to create the view under a schema called 'XDCONTROLDB'. If I login as sys as sysdba, then it create successfully.
After I create UserA, and grant the privileges I mentioned in the ealier post, I login as UserA, and run the statement above I get the same privileges error. But if I change the stament to below which will create the view under UserA's schema, then it create successfully:
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW UserA."XDTest1" PCTFREE 10
PCTUSED 0 MAXTRANS 255
STORAGE ( INITIAL 64K NEXT 0K MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS
2147483645 PCTINCREASE 0)
TABLESPACE "USERS"
BUILD IMMEDIATE
REFRESH COMPLETE START WITH sysdate NEXT sysdate + 1/24
ENABLE QUERY REWRITE AS
SELECT 1 From XDControlDB.RiskInstance;
Looking for your suggestions,
Cheers

"Create directory" is only for directories where the database is installed. It's essentially a server-side concept. So, if your database is installed on a machine called myDBserver, you can only create directories on the file system that myDBserver has access to. You also need to be logged-in as system to do this, then grant read and/or write to the schemas that need access to the directory.

Create view and alter Session gets 0RA-01031

I can't create a view after using ALTER SESSION set current_schema without using an explicit schema. I get ORA-01031. Is this a known bug? Here are the details:
1. Log on as SYSTEM
2. ALTER SESSION set current_schema=FRED;
3. CREATE VIEW vFoo as select * from Foo; -- ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
4. CREATE VIEW FRED.vFoo as select * from Foo; -- this works!
I've read where some privileges need to be granted directly. In fact, if Fred grants select privilege on Foo to SYSTEM, the statement in #3 above works. However, something doesn't seem right because why does #4 succeed without the GRANT?
In case you're wondering why I don't just use #4 above, which does work, it's because I've got a script that will be run by customers to create tables, views, etc. in an arbitrary schema and the schema is associated with a user with limited permissions. Hence, the use of the ALTER SESSION.

See, You looged as SYSTEM (Scheme = SYSTEM)
Now you alter your session to another schema FRED.
Now if you want to access SCHEMA of FRED, You need to connect first.
SQL > connect user/password@host
Then
SQL > CREATE VIEW vFoo as select * from Foo;
View created.

Non-sense error message trying to create view

Greetings All,
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production on Windows 2008R2
I am getting an error while trying to create a view. The error makes no sense in that no attempt to change a user name or password as the error message being produced suggests.
I can execute the entire select statement fine, I get results back.
If I comment out the line indicated as being in error, the problem moves to the line prior to the one commented out. The 4 lines prior to the line indicated by the error message are similar. The error is occurring on the last of the 5 similar lines of code.
If I move all 5 lines further up in the code the error moves accordingly.
The function validate_number (near where the error is identified) under certain conditions will issue a execute immediate 'alter session set nls_numeric_characters = ''.,''';
The column number identified in the error message is 2 spaces prior to the validate_number function call.
Below is the syntax for the creation of the view, the error message is at the bottom.
The numbers to the far left indicate the line number. I put 2 blank lines before and after the line of code identified by the error message.
The error points to the 2-spaces in front of the VALIDATE_NUMBER function call on line 350. just before the sql code ==> validate_number(Spend_Qty,'')),0) <==
Thanks for your time,
Bob

Checking for privileges was the first thing I did.
User has create view and create any view.
Also has alter session privilege which is needed within the validate_number function (see below).
I was able to create the view you suggested.
I believe there is a privilege problem, just cant figure which.
create or replace function validate_number(p_number      in varchar2,
                                           p_format_mask in varchar2)

v_number number;
v_mask   varchar2(100) := '999999999999999999999.00000000000000000000';
cursor get_number_masks is
select mask,upper(is_i18n) is_i18n from cm_master.format_mask
where type = 'NUMBER' order by sequence, is_i18n;
begin
if p_format_mask is not null then
    begin
      return to_number(p_number, p_format_mask);
    exception
      when others then null;
    end;
end if;
for a in get_number_masks

    if a.is_i18n = 'Y' then

        execute immediate 'alter session set nls_numeric_characters = '',.''';
        v_number := to_number(ltrim(rtrim(to_char(to_number(p_number, a.mask),v_mask))),v_mask);

What can i do for creating view on a public synonym?

Hi people,
I have create a public synonym for other users object as,
SQL> create public synonym pdep for scott.dept;
Synonym created.
then i tend to create a view on this public syn as,
SQL> create view vpdep as select * from pdep;
create view vpdep as select * from pdep
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
I have privilege to create view.also i can create view on a public synonym of my own objects.for ex,
SQL> create public synonym cdep for dept;
Synonym created.
SQL> create view vcdep as select * from cdep;
View created.
what could be the reason behind this?is there any privilege required for me.pls suggest me.
Regards
VIDS

Hi vidusnat!
This is from Oracle's onlinedocumentation:
>
Privileges Required to Create Views
To create a view, you must meet the following requirements:
You must have been granted one of the following system privileges, either explicitly or through a role:
o The CREATE VIEW system privilege (to create a view in your schema)
o The CREATE ANY VIEW system privilege (to create a view in another user's schema)
You must have been explicitly granted one of the following privileges:
o The SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE object privileges on all base objects underlying the view
o The SELECT ANY TABLE, INSERT ANY TABLE, UPDATE ANY TABLE, or DELETE ANY TABLE system privileges
In addition, in order to grant other users access to your view, you must have received object privileges to the base objects with the GRANT OPTION clause or appropriate system privileges with the ADMIN OPTION clause. If you have not, then grantees cannot access your view.
>
I hope that this will bring a little light into darkness!
Yours sincerely
Florian W.

Error in creating view

ASIF_SELECT is a database use with select privilege on some table and have roles CONNECT & RESOURCE, after log on if he execute following statement, there is no problem, but when he try to create view of that it give ORA-01031 insufficient privilege error, and show * on general_information.cb_region_fo d .
If i give him SELECT ANY TABLE privilege error remove, we can not give him this privilege. how to resolve this error
SELECT DISTINCT c.br_region_fo_code AS region_code,
d.NAME,
SUM (c.employer_contribution) OVER (PARTITION BY c.br_region_fo_code) AS emp_contr,
SUM (c.emp_arrear_amount) OVER (PARTITION BY c.br_region_fo_code) AS emp_arrear
FROM core_business.cb_contr_emp_pmt_slip c,
general_information.cb_region_fo d
WHERE c.br_region_fo_code = d.region_fo_code
ORDER BY c.br_region_fo_code;
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW ASIF_SELECT.A1A2 AS
SELECT DISTINCT c.br_region_fo_code AS region_code,
d.NAME,
SUM (c.employer_contribution) OVER (PARTITION BY c.br_region_fo_code) AS emp_contr,
SUM (c.emp_arrear_amount) OVER (PARTITION BY c.br_region_fo_code) AS emp_arrear
FROM core_business.cb_contr_emp_pmt_slip c,
general_information.cb_region_fo d
WHERE c.br_region_fo_code = d.region_fo_code
ORDER BY c.br_region_fo_code;

Hi,
As you said SELECT ANY TABLE privilege works fine and, so i suppose you have create view privilege and you can create view.
If you have create view privilege and still you can't create then read bellow.
FROM core_business.cb_contr_emp_pmt_slip c,
general_information.cb_region_fo dYou are referencing two tables/view in this statement. I suspect one of them is a view, please let us know which one is view(or both are views). This view references another table and on which ASIF_SELECT should have select privilege, right?
In this case, find out the tables involved in above view(s) and grant owner of this view the "select privilege with grant option"
suppose core_business.cb_contr_emp_pmt_slip is a view involving a table "user1.table1"
You should grant rights on user1.table1 to core_business as follows
grant select on user1.table1 to core_business
grant select on core_business.cb_contr_emp_pmt_slip to ASIF_SELECT;Now user ASIF_SELECT will be able to create a view while querying core_business.cb_contr_emp_pmt_slip.

Insufficient privileges while creating EUL

Hi All,
I am trying to create a new EUL in Discoverer 9.0.4. Option "Select an existing user" is selected and "Grant access to Public" is unchecked.
I am connected as user A. The tables are in schema for user B. So I selected the user B and entered the password. When I click "Finish", I get the following error:
Insufficient privileges to create a new user or grant the necessary privileges to an existing user. You must have CREATE USER, ALTER USER and GRANT ANY PRIVILEGE privileges.
Now user A does have privileges to create role, view, table, session, sequence, procedure. User B too has these privileges plus a few more.
Can somebody help me with what privileges am I lacking? For which user, A or B?
Thanks.

If you want to create an EUL the user you select (B in your case) must be the following privilegies:
CREATE SESSION
CREATE USER
GRANT ANY PRIVILEGE
ALTER USER
It doesn't matter the user you are connected in Discoverer.
Hope this helps.

Insufficient privileges when creating MV with alter session set current_sch

I am getting Insufficient privileges when creating MV with alter session set current_schema=Application schema name. User running the alter session is DBA user. If run as SYSDBA, MV is created successfully. DB Version is 10.2.0.3
I observed similiar issue with regular View also in 9.2.0.6 also.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Siva

Sounds like your management needs a stern lecture on the concept of change management. <g>
I am not debating what you do. I am questioning the logic, or lack thereof, of doing it that way. My recommendation would be to change your procedure to one that:
A. Is more in line with good change management practices.
B. Works.

    Action: Ask the database administrator to perform the operation or grant the required privileges. For Trusted Oracle users getting this error although granted the the appropriate privilege at a higher label, ask the database administrator to regrant the privilege at the appropriate label.I'm not really sure where to go from here, I connected as sys and attempted to grant select on this table to the user creating the view, but got an error(sorry, I didn't get the number) saying that you can only select from fixed tables. I tried creating the view logged in a sys which gave the same 1031 error.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Creating view on v$waitstat in my schema

Hi,
How can I create a view on v$.. objects in my schema?
I have dba priveleges.
SQL> create view my_waitstat as select class,count from v$waitstat;
create view my_waitstat as select class,count from v$waitstat
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
SQL>

I understatnd :-) that you very wise man
I ask a question because I need to resolve my problem quickly
How about this one?
SQL> connect / as sysdba;
Connected.
SQL> grant select on x$kcbwait to dbmon;
grant select on x$kcbwait to dbmon
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02030: can only select from fixed tables/views
SQL> grant select on v$waitstat to dbmon;
grant select on v$waitstat to dbmon
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02030: can only select from fixed tables/views

Why do I get a "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" in my view creation?

Why do I get a "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" in my view creation for the table which exists in the same schema?
Oracle version is 10g R2.
connect cim/lion;
create table cim.table1 (a number, b varchar2(10));
create view cim.view1 as select * from cim.table1;
create view cim.view1 as select * from cim.table1
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Thanks it works now after giving CREATE VIEW permission to user CIM.
This script was working fine in Oracle 10g R1.
Looks like i need to execute the following GRANT permission explicitly
grant create view to cim;

How to create view in oracle?

but when i am executing this it's not getting executed showing error insufficient privilege.
here is my view below.

could you check that.
thanks

Whenever you post provide your 4 digit Oracle version (result of SELECT * FROM V$VERSION).

Always provide the exact error code and message for questions like this.
That error means the user does not have the CREATE VIEW or CREATE ANY VIEW privilege.
The solution is to grant the user CREATE VIEW, for creating views in their own schema, or CREATE ANY VIEW to create views on objects in other schemas.
As SYS 'REVOKE CREATE VIEW FROM SCOTT'. Then as SCOTT
>
create or replace view a_view as select * from emp;
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

It is a different error when the user does not have SELECT privilege on the underlying table or view
As SYS 'GRANT CREATE VIEW TO SCOTT'. Then as SCOTT
>
create or replace view a_view as select * from hr.employees
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
>
Same if the object does not exist
>
create or replace view a_view as select * from no_such_table
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
>
But if the table does exist
>
create or replace view a_view as select * from emp;

Problem with embeding the same view in dynamically created view container

Hello Experts,
              I am getiing a dump when i try to embed the same view inside the dynamically created view container of
dynamically created tabs of a tabstrip
The requirement go like this, i have 2 views in which i have have to embed the 2nd view to view1 where i have an empty
tabstrip without tabs. During runtime i create tabs as well as view containers accordingly and then try to embed view2 in tabs.
I have put the below mentioned code in HANDLEIN,
DATA: lref_vcntlr TYPE REF TO if_wd_view_controller,
        lref_comp    TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage,
        lv_embed_pos TYPE string.
lref_vcntlr = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
lv_embed_pos = 'FILE_PERS_EDIT/VC_GENERAL'.
TRY.
      CALL METHOD lref_vcntlr->do_dynamic_navigation
        EXPORTING
          source_window_name        = 'FILE_PERSISTENCE_WND'          " Window
          source_vusage_name        = 'FILE_PERS_EDIT_USAGE_1'       " Source View usage
          source_plug_name          = 'TO_EDIT_LAYOUT'                       " Outbound plug
          target_view_name          = 'PERS_EDIT_LAYOUT'                  " Second view to be embedded
          target_plug_name          = 'IN'                                                  " Second view inboun plug
          target_embedding_position = lv_embed_pos
        RECEIVING
          component_usage           = lref_comp.
    CATCH cx_wd_runtime_repository .
ENDTRY.
wd_this->fire_to_edit_layout_plg( ).
This works fine for the first time.
However onaction tab select i change the embeding position( 'FILE_PERS_EDIT/view container name of different tab') of the view2 an try to embed view2 in a different tab.
At this point i get a dump stating View2 already present in the window 'FILE_PERSISTENCE_WND' of component.
I think, the view2 embediing has to be removed before i add the view2 in a different tab
Kindly let me know how to remove view2 embedding from tab1 before i add a view2 to a different tab or is there any other
means to handle this problem?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Srini.

Hello Srini,
I found a solution to your problem, because I had a similar task.
In WDDOINIT I changed the method do_dynamic_navigation to if_wd_navigation_services_new~prepare_dynamic_navigation:
DATA:
    l_view_controller_api TYPE REF TO if_wd_view_controller.
l_view_controller_api = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
TRY.
      CALL METHOD l_view_controller_api->if_wd_navigation_services_new~prepare_dynamic_navigation
        EXPORTING
          source_window_name        = 'WDW_MAIN'
          source_vusage_name        = 'VW_SUB_USAGE_1'
          source_plug_name          = 'TO_VW_CONTENT'
          target_component_name     = 'ZTEST_DYNAMIC'
          target_view_name          = 'VW_CONTENT'
          target_plug_name          = 'DEFAULT'
          target_embedding_position = 'VW_MAIN/VC_TAB.VW_SUB/TAB1_VC'
        RECEIVING
          repository_handle         = wd_this->g_rep_handle.
    CATCH cx_wd_runtime_repository .
ENDTRY.
wd_this->fire_to_vw_content_plg( param1 = 'TAB1' ).
In the action I first deleted the navigation targets, then navigated to the empty-view and last I called my target view:
DATA:
    lv_position           TYPE string,
    l_view_controller_api TYPE REF TO if_wd_view_controller,
    lr_view_usage         TYPE REF TO if_wd_rr_view_usage,
    lr_view_***_t         TYPE wdrr_vca_objects,
    lr_view_***           LIKE LINE OF lr_view_***_t.
l_view_controller_api = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
lr_view_usage = wd_this->g_view->get_view_usage( ).
lr_view_usage->delete_all_navigation_targets( plug_name = 'TO_VW_CONTENT' ).
CLEAR lv_position.
CONCATENATE 'VW_MAIN/VC_TAB.VW_SUB/' old_tab '_VC' INTO lv_position.
TRY.
      l_view_controller_api->if_wd_navigation_services_new~do_dynamic_navigation(
      source_window_name = 'WDW_MAIN'
      source_vusage_name = 'VW_SUB_USAGE_1'
      source_plug_name   = 'TO_EMPTYVIEW'
      target_component_name = 'ZTEST_DYNAMIC'
      target_view_name   = 'EMPTYVIEW'
      target_plug_name   = 'DEFAULT'
      target_embedding_position = lv_position ).
    CATCH cx_wd_runtime_repository.
ENDTRY.
CLEAR lv_position.
CONCATENATE 'VW_MAIN/VC_TAB.VW_SUB/' tab '_VC' INTO lv_position.
TRY.
      wd_this->g_rep_handle = l_view_controller_api->if_wd_navigation_services_new~prepare_dynamic_navigation(
        source_window_name = 'WDW_MAIN'
        source_vusage_name = 'VW_SUB_USAGE_1'
        source_plug_name   = 'TO_VW_CONTENT'
        target_component_name = 'ZTEST_DYNAMIC'
        target_view_name   = 'VW_CONTENT'
        target_plug_name   = 'DEFAULT'
        target_embedding_position = lv_position ).
    CATCH cx_wd_runtime_repository.
ENDTRY.
wd_this->fire_to_vw_content_plg( param1 = tab ).
Ann.: I my example, I had 3 views: VW_MAIN which embedds VW_SUB. VW_SUB has the tabs in it and VW_SUB embedds VW_CONTENT.

Roland
