3 (paint_id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
4 paint_size NUMBER,
5 colour VARCHAR2(10) )
6* GRANT select ON paint TO ashish
SQL> /
CREATE SCHEMA AUTHORIZATION painter
ERROR at line 1:

What is the error in this statement for not alllowing me to crate the schema?

Hi,
It must be the same as the current schema.
LEGATTI@ORACLE10> show user
USER is "LEGATTI"
LEGATTI@ORACLE10> create schema authorization legatti
  2  create table t1 (id number)
  3  create table t2 (id number)
  4  create table t3 (id number)
  5  ;
Schema created.Cheers
