Accessing SDO_GEOM_METADATA in another schema

I'm wondering what the "correct" way of accessng another user's USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA is. The 9i Spatial documentation clearly states that this is the only view that the user can update, but what if my program is writing data to a table in a different schema?
I have found that I can write records to ALL_SDO_GEOM_METADATA, and they do show up correctly in the other user's USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA, but the documentation does not support this approach.
If i write my software to read and/or write directly from/to ALL_SDO_GEOM_METADATA, am I condemning it to work only with the current version of Oracle Spatial, or -- worse yet -- working only with my own test database, or is it perfectly valid for it to do its metadata access to the ALL_SDO_... instead of the USER_SDO_...?

Hi,
I am rather new in oracle spatial and I have some problems with the sdo_geom_metadata table.
When i create a user and then a table with a column sdo_geometry, the table sdo_geom_metadata is not automaticly created.
Is this normal? Can I create the table myself with a simple create table statement?
Another thing : When i create the table myself and put for example the attribute sdo_tolerance to 0.005, this value becomes 0 when I make the statement select * from sdo_geom_metadata. Why my value is not taken into account?
Thanks a lot for any help.

its a view (not a table) and should have been created when Oracle Spatial was installed (someone out there can tell me if I'm wrong)

Accesing the tables of one schema in another schema

Hi
I have doubt .. suppose i have a user called DEMO and it has tables . now i have a another user called DEMO1
my doubt is . how can i get the tables of DEMO user into DEMO1. If update the table in DEMO1 that should reflect
in DEMO user. help me.........

Before going further, you should clarify your requirements and make sure you have a good understanding of:
- Synonyms
- Views
- Replication such as materialized views
- Basic security including object grants
Assuming this is all in the same database...
If you just need to have one user access data in another schema, you need grants.
If you need to make it 'look like' the data in that other schema is in your schema, you should be looking at synonyms or views.
If you need to capture the data periodically from the other schema, you should be looking at materialized views.
If you are straddling multiple databases then the choices may be less clear-cut but you should still be looking at these capabilities to assemble a solution
From what you have said so far, triggers should not even be on your radar.

How can i access all the objects of one schema from another schema

Dear All,
How can i access all the objects(Tables,Views,Triggers,Procedures,Functions,Packages etc..) and do the modifications of one schema from another schema (Without using synonyms concept).
Thanks in advance,
Mahi

First of all, synonyms only help you easy reference the object. It doesn't have any implication of object privilege.
As long as you have proper privilege on target object. You can access it with or without synonyms.
Assuming you have proper privilege of objects, you can use following command to assume schema owner.
ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = Schema_owner

Issue with Access a table of another schema

Hii,

Thanks

I tried this but it is showing you can create a object with this name as it is already exist..I assume that you wanted to say that you can't create the object with the mentioned name as its used by another object. So now there are two things,
1) Find that object which has the same name that you want to use with the synonym. See if you have the option to rename that object or drop and recreate it with a different name.
2) Choose another name for your synonym.

Granting Read Only Access to user in another schema

Oracle Database 10g
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3
We are requested by a developer to grant his account read only access to TABLES, VIEWS, INDEXES, SEQUENCES, FUNCTIONS, PROCEDURES, PACKAGES, TRIGGERS, JOBS of another schema.
I know granting read only access to Tables and Views. But is it possible to grant READ ONLY access to other mentioned objects ? How to do it ?
And some views are in INVALID status.
I tried to compile them using alter view owner.viewname compile;
But got this ---- Warning: View altered with compilation errors.
Those views are still in INVALID status. And then I tried to use utlrp.sql . Same result.
Then I used the following
SELECT TEXT FROM DBA_VIEWS WHERE VIEW_NAME='view-name';
select REFERENCED_NAME,REFERENCED_TYPE from dba_dependencies where name='view-name';
It turns out some reference types are non existent.
Does that mean DBAs cannot do anything about this ?

TABLES -> YES grant SELECT
VIEWS -> YES grant SELECT
SEQUENCE -> YES grant SELECT
INDEXES -> There is no read access for indexes...indexes are put on tables and a user who has read access on tables can read the index as well.
FUNCTIONS / PROCEDURES / PACKAGES -> I am not sure what you mean by read access on procedures, functions and packages. You may grant EXECUTE privilege on these.
TRIGGERS -> there is no read access on triggers required. They are implemented on tables for a DML event. If the user has DML access he has the execute access on the trigger as well.
JOBS -> I am not sure what to read from Jobs.
And some views are in INVALID status.
I tried to compile them using alter view owner.viewname compile;
But got this ---- Warning: View altered with compilation errors.
Those views are still in INVALID status. And then I tried to use utlrp.sql . Same result.

select REFERENCED_NAME,REFERENCED_TYPE from dba_dependencies where name='view-name';
It turns out some reference types are non existent.
Does that mean DBAs cannot do anything about this ?There are compilation errors in the Views. e.g. the view may be referring to a table which doesn't exist etc.
Unless you fix the error in the view you can't compile it and male it valid. Fix the view errors. If objects are non existing create them or refer to view to some where else.
If the nonexistent objects were mistakenly dropped, or the data file which contained those objects was dropped, no matter what was the reason for that object to be gone a DBA can bring it back if he is a well prepared DBA and has setup his database for such kind of disasters.
Now tell us why those objects are non-existent ? were they meant to be gone ? or they were dropped mistakenly?
Now here are my guesses:
If they were meant to be gone then probably the views definitions need to be adjusted not to refer them anymore.
If they were mistakenly dropped then:
Do you have them in recyclebin? (only tables) if YES just FLASHBACK TABLE <<tablename>> AS BEFORE DROP.
Is your database has Flashback database ON? if YES FLASHBACK DATABASE until 'time/scn just before the object was dropped'
Do you have backups and your database is running in ARCHIVE LOG mode? if YES perform an incomplete recovery using RMAN.

How do I move a table from one schema to another schema?

How do I move a table from one schema to another schema?

Grant access to the table from the source schema to destination schema.
GRANT SELECT ON <TABLE_NAME> TO <DESTINATION SCHEMA>A simple way would be to use CREATE Table with select syntax (in destination schema)
CREATE TABLE <TABLE_NAME> AS SELECT * FROM <SOURCE SCHEMA>.<TABLE_NAME><li>However, you would be in trouble when the table has index,constraints and triggers.
So you can better of grab the DDL statement of the table(and any additional components) andd then create the table in the destination schema.You can use SQL developer, Toad or Apex's Object browser for this.
After the table is created, Insert the records using SELECT.
INSERT INTO <TABLE_NAME> SELECT * FROM <SOURCE SCHEMA>.<TABLE_NAME>This question is discussed in great detail in this AskTom thread

How do I view package bodies in another schema ?

For purposes of SOX and security/audit control, we log in under our network id's in our production environment. We have sourcecode compiled into Oracle seeded schemas ( APPS ) so that scheduled jobs are able to run with submitted from the Oracle Applications environment. We don't compile code into our personal network account areas.
I know how to GRANT EXECUTE privs so that we can execute a package in another schema, but what I want to do is to be able to view the sourcecode in another schema. Compile into APPS but be able to see the package body from my network id schema account.
I can't seem to find what the correct permission is anywhere. Granted I can look at DBA_SOURCE to get to it, but I want to use a tool like SQL Developer or TOAD to look at the code in a more presentable and easier to debug manner.
Any help ?

I did some more searching on the forum... seems its already a request... TOAD gives access to DBA_Views to resolve the issue... SQL Developer has not integrated that functionality yet, but forum entries seem to indicate that it is on the horizon.
Thanks for responding though.

Unable to access table in another account in Apex

Hi,
In the Apex report, I am querying a table in another schema account. I even granted select access to it. Yet Apex keeps on complaining that the table does not exist. Thanks.
1 error has occurred
Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

did you preface the table name with the schema??
Select Other.a, other.b from other where <condition>

SQL Plan Management - Baseline- Can it be used in another Schema

Hi,
I have never implemented, SQL Plan Management -Creating SQL plan baselines.
I am having a query which is using indexes in one Schema.
On another Schema in the same DB, the query accesses the SAME TABLE THROUGH SYNONYM. And the plan is very different. And query goes into indefinite execution.
I have tried hints and other ways but it's simply not using the indexes.
Anyone having experience with Baselines, can you suggest if I create a Baseline for the plan in SchemaA.
Then can I use the same plan through Baseline in SchemaB for the same query?
Please suggest..Thanks..

Hi Jeneesh,
Thanks for the reply.
Problem is that the query has Xquery code inside and it's using the XMLType indexes. That's why it does not seem to be using the XML Indexes even by Hints.
I have posted the scenario in XMLDB Forum as well:
Re: Table in Schema1 using XMLIndexes But not in View- Schema2
But can you think of any harm if I try to create Baseline and tag the query with it.
So even in other schema if the same query is fired it will use the right Explain Plan.
I am not able to figure out any other way right now.
Please suggest..Thanks..

How to defer constraint of one schema from another schema

Hi All,
I am having a requirement of migrating data from one schema(SCHEMA_A) to another schema(SCHEMA_B). So I tried to implement the same using PL/SQL.
Because of foreign key contraint while migrating child table, Oracle throws an error message like parent key not available.
So I tried to set the all contraints to deferred and after completion of migration i planned to set all the contraints to immediate.
But Here I am executing the procedure from schema(SCHEMA_C) which has rights to access SCHEMA_A and SCHEMA_B.
How could I able to defer all the constraint in SCHEMA_B from SCHEMA_C?
Thanks in Advance,
Antany.

Yes,
You could run something like this, for foreign keys:
BEGIN
FOR cur_rec IN (SELECT table_name, constraint_name FROM DBA_CONSTRAINTS WHERE OWNER = <owner> AND CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'R' )
 LOOP
 EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE <owner>.' || cur_rec.table_name || ' DISABLE CONSTRAINT ' || cur_rec.constraint_name;
 END LOOP;
END;

Cannt execute stored proc of one schema in another schema from java app.

I am posting my problem in this forum as i i though it could be server-independent.
I am working on apache tomcat and spring framework with Oracle db (schema/user A)
We access oracle db from our java application by setting jndi and works fine.We have sqlstatements, stored procs and functions all run fine.
Now we create a role (DBROLE) with all permissions to that original db schema/user(A) . We created another empty schema B and assigned that role(DBROLE) to that user B.
(We grant all kind of permissions on tables/packages of schema A to user role DBROLE and also created synonyms)
Intentions are: to access the schema A though schema B from application and avoiding direct access.
In our spring application, we replaced database-settings with schema B.
Things work fine: When its plain SQL statement is run from Java code but Stored proc wont run and we get
'Wrong num of arguments/data types' error.
Also all stored procs are in packages.To execute stored proc in java code, we use SimpleJdbcCall.
I also checked run stored proc from schema B and its works. Only from web app, it doesnt work.
Please suggest,what should be done to make this working or if there is other alternative.
Thanks

Instead of importing a scema in another schema specifiy the schemas in the external-schemaLocation property.
SAXParser saxParser = new SAXParser();
saxParser.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation", "xmlschema1.xsd, xmlschema2.xsd");

VIew of Package body in another schema in EA 3.0

I would like the ability in SQL Developer to view the package body of another schema with the CREATE ANY PRIVILGE.
For instance, in TOAD you can grant access to DBA_SOURCE or SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE and then be able to view another schema's package body.
This is long overdue without having to log into that schema or granting CREATE ANY PRIVILEDGE to user.
This one is really needed

"CREATE ANY PRIVILEGE" is irrelevant to the ability of viewing the source owned by other users.
Please provide exact script for creating a user, which is able to see the code, say in HR schema, via the query
select * from all_source
where owner = 'HR'
and yet missing the nodes in the OtherUsers->Packages->PKG_A->PKG_A Body in the navigator.

VPD: Problems calling a function on another schema

Here's the setup:
I've create a schema called "AllYourBase". It contains all of my tables, views, functions, procs, etc.
These tables are protected by a DBMS_RLS policy. The policy uses a function to define its predicate which looks like this:
create or replace function tous_filter(schemaName varchar2, tableName varchar2)
return varchar2 is
begin
return 'account = sys_context(''USERENV'', ''CLIENT_IDENTIFIER'')';
end;
All of the tables have an account column for this to work. So far, this is a pretty basic VPD setup.
I have other db users that login and view data in the "AllYourBase" schema.
So when "ArbyLong" logs in, I set sys_context('USERENV', 'CLIENT_IDENTIFIER') to "ArbyLong", and when he runs a query, he gets back his rows.
Now, "AllYourBase" has several functions. Here's a very contrived, simplified example of one (but it illustrates the issue I'm running into just fine):
create or replace function getUserID
return integer is retval integer;
begin
select user_id into retval from users;
return (retval);
end;
When "ArbyLong" runs the equivalent query (select user_id from users), he gets back the one row where the account column is equal to "ArbyLong", as expected.
But this getUserID function lives in the "AllYourBase" schema. And here's the catch: I've made "AllYourBase" exempt from the policies by running "grant exempt access policy to AllYourBase".
When "ArbyLong" runs the function getUserID, it runs in the "AllYourBase" schema and pulls ALL of the rows from the users table.
This particular function simply errors out (since it's only expecting one row), but other functions are returning data that the logged in user shouldn't see.
So even though there are policies in place, by calling a function on another schema who is exempt from the policies, a user is able to see all returned data and not just the rows they are normally limited to.
Ultimately my question is this: Is there a way to enforce VPD policies when a user calls a function that lives in another schema?
Doing my own research, the answers I've come up with are:
* Don't use "grant exempt policy"!
* Put the function directly into the users' schemas. So "ArbyLong" would have his own getUserID function that would look at the "AllYourBase" users table.
I'd rather not do either of these, so does anyone have any other ideas? If it turns out these are the only solutions, then I'll go with one of them.
Thanks!

Need more info. Are you using a ViewStack or other navigator container, and trying to access a view that has not been displayed yet, due to deferred instantiation?
