942: error when trying to browse/refresh Packages, Procedures and Functions

Question

Hi,
I'm using OSD 1.1 against 10g.
I can create and compile functions in a certain schema but when I try to browse the Functions node I get "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist." and the node does not expand.
The same thing happens with the Packages and Procedures nodes.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Mike

I've got the same problem with SQL Developer 1.1.0.23.64 against 9.2.0.4.0 and 10.1.0.4.0. This error occured only for a few package/procedure/function owners. I've found that these owners have SELECT ANY TABLE system privilege. In such case SQL Developer generates following SELECT:
SELECT OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_ID, DECODE(STATUS, 'INVALID', 'TRUE', 'FALSE') INVALID, 'TRUE' runnable, NVL( b.HAS_BODY, 'FALSE') HAS_BODY
FROM SYS.DBA_OBJECTS a,
(SELECT 'TRUE' HAS_BODY, object_name tmp_name FROM SYS.DBA_OBJECTS WHERE OWNER = :SCHEMA AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'PACKAGE BODY') b
WHERE OWNER = :SCHEMA
AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'PACKAGE'
AND object_name = tmp_name (+)
AND SUBOBJECT_NAME IS NULL
AND OBJECT_ID NOT IN ( SELECT PURGE_OBJECT FROM RECYCLEBIN )
Otherwise it generates
SELECT OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_ID, DECODE(STATUS, 'INVALID', 'TRUE', 'FALSE') INVALID, 'TRUE' runnable, NVL( b.HAS_BODY, 'FALSE') HAS_BODY
FROM SYS.ALL_OBJECTS a,
(SELECT 'TRUE' HAS_BODY, object_name tmp_name FROM SYS.ALL_OBJECTS WHERE OWNER = :SCHEMA AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'PACKAGE BODY') b
WHERE OWNER = :SCHEMA
AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'PACKAGE'
AND object_name = tmp_name (+)
AND SUBOBJECT_NAME IS NULL
AND OBJECT_ID NOT IN ( SELECT PURGE_OBJECT FROM RECYCLEBIN )
Both for 10g.
So you could try to grant SELECT on DBA_OBJECTS to owner of your functions.
I don't know why SQL Developer doesn't SELECT from ALL_OBJECTS in all cases.

You will need grant SELECT on DBA_SOURCE, too.
