Insufficient privileges - Split Partitioned IOT

Question

Hi,
Can someone help me figuring this out. I'm trying to do a SPLIT PARTITION in a stored procedure.
SQL> select * from v$version where rownum = 1;
BANNER                                                         
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
1 row selected.This is my sample table:
SQL> CREATE TABLE tab (
         period                NUMBER(13)         NOT NULL,
         check_id              VARCHAR2(4)        NOT NULL,
         opkr_number           NUMBER(7)          NOT NULL
      ,CONSTRAINT tab_pk PRIMARY KEY (period, check_id, opkr_number)
    ORGANIZATION INDEX COMPRESS 2
    PARTITION BY LIST (period)
       PARTITION tab_p72  VALUES(72),
       PARTITION tab_p73  VALUES(73),
       PARTITION tab_rest VALUES(DEFAULT));
Table created.And I want to do this in my procedure:
SQL> ALTER TABLE tab SPLIT PARTITION tab_rest VALUES(74) INTO (PARTITION tab_p74, PARTITION tab_rest);
Table altered.
SQL> ALTER TABLE tab DROP PARTITION tab_p74;
Table altered.This attempt won't work:
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE myproc
AS
BEGIN
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE tab SPLIT PARTITION tab_rest VALUES(74) INTO (PARTITION tab_p74, PARTITION tab_rest)';
END;
Procedure created.
SQL> exec myproc
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "XQL_STIK.MYPROC", line 4
ORA-06512: at line 1Only if I put in AUTHID CURRENT_USER, it will. And this what I just cannot figure out.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE myproc2
AUTHID CURRENT_USER
AS
BEGIN
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE tab SPLIT PARTITION tab_rest VALUES(74) INTO (PARTITION tab_p74, PARTITION tab_rest)';
END;
Procedure created.
SQL> exec myproc2
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> ALTER TABLE tab DROP PARTITION tab_p74;
Table altered.It cannot be the ALTER TABLE privilege.
SQL> create or replace procedure myproc3
as
begin
   execute immediate 'ALTER TABLE tab ADD x NUMBER';
end;
Procedure created.
SQL> exec myproc3
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> DROP TABLE tab PURGE;
Table dropped.Can anyone see what I'm missing?
Edit: I can even do this, so it must have to do with the SPLIT (And this being an IOT)
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE myproc4
AS
BEGIN
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE tab DROP PARTITION tab_rest';
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE tab ADD  PARTITION tab_p74 VALUES(74)';
END;
Procedure created.
SQL> exec myproc4
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.Best regards
Peter

- Added DROP/ADD example

Answer 1

Hi Herald,
and Centinul.
Thanks for that metalink. Looked promising, but I'm not sure. It seems that I can use ALTER SESSION, even in a SP.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE myproc5
AS
BEGIN
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE = american';
END;
Procedure created.
SQL> select value
  from nls_session_parameters
where parameter = 'NLS_LANGUAGE';
VALUE                                  
DANISH                                 
1 row selected.
SQL> set role none;
Set role complete.
SQL> exec myproc5
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select value
  from nls_session_parameters
where parameter = 'NLS_LANGUAGE';
VALUE                                  
AMERICAN                               
1 row selected.
SQL> select * from session_privs
order by 1;
PRIVILEGE                              
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW               
UNLIMITED TABLESPACE                   
2 rows selected.
SQL> set role all;
Set role complete.
SQL> select * from session_privs
order by 1;
PRIVILEGE                              
ALTER SESSION                          
CREATE CLUSTER                         
CREATE INDEXTYPE                       
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW               
CREATE OPERATOR                        
CREATE PROCEDURE                       
CREATE SEQUENCE                        
CREATE SESSION                         
CREATE SYNONYM                         
CREATE TABLE                           
CREATE TRIGGER                         
CREATE TYPE                            
CREATE VIEW                            
UNLIMITED TABLESPACE                   
14 rows selected.Hmm..
Edit:
[Bug:1548539|https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=BUG&id=1548539]
Seems to indicate that CREATE TABLE is the thing I'm looking for.
This seems to be consistent with what Bartek has.
Can anyone confirm, by running some of my original test case with and without CREATE TABLE privilege?
I'm sorry for asking for this final confirmation, unfortunately it would be quite painful for me to have some privileged user do that for me.
Regards
Peter

- Maybe CREATE TABLE?
