Public Synonyms for Nested Tables - Insertion Problem - Please Help!!!!!

Question

Hi,
we are facing a problem during implementation. Our DB set up
is , we will be having two schema named OWNR and COPY.
In the schema, OWNR we have to create all the tables,
types,procedures, packages and obj.....This schema will have
both DDL and DML privileges.
In the schema, COPY we are not supposed to create any tables,
objects. We have to create public synonyms for all the tables,
types, procedures... in OWNR and grant ALL privilege to the
schema COPY.The schema, COPY will have only DML privileges.
The problem is we have some nested tables in our application.
When I try to insert into the synonym which is created for the
nested table, it is not allowing me to insert..The whole
implementation is stucked..Please help.The scripts are given
below.......
We have a type name SITA_ADDRESS_TY which is used by the nested
table SITA_ADDRESSES_NT.Script used for creating the Type,Nested
table,Table, Public Synonym and granting all privilege to these
types and tables are
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE SITA_ADDRESS_TY AS OBJECT (
SITA_ADDRESS VARCHAR2(10),
REMARKS VARCHAR2(100)) ;
PROMPT SITA_ADDRESSS_NT...
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE SITA_ADDRESSES_NT AS TABLE OF
SITA_ADDRESS_TY ;
Using this nested table we have created the table,
UMS_SITA_ADDRESS
CREATE TABLE UMS_SITA_ADDRESS (
COMPANY_CODE VARCHAR2 (6) NOT NULL,
AIRLINE_CODE VARCHAR2 (6) NOT NULL,
DESTINATION VARCHAR2 (6) NOT NULL,
SITA_ADDRESS SITA_ADDRESSES_NT)
TABLESPACE EKUMDAT
PCTFREE 5
PCTUSED 40
INITRANS 1
MAXTRANS 255

NESTED TABLE SITA_ADDRESS STORE AS UMSNT_SITA_ADDRESS ;
PROMPT SYNONYM SITA_ADDRESS_TY...
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM SITA_ADDRESS_TY FOR SITA_ADDRESS_TY
PROMPT SYNONYM SITA_ADDRESSES_NT...
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM SITA_ADDRESSES_NT FOR SITA_ADDRESSES_NT
PROMPT UMS_SITA_ADDRESS...
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM UMS_SITA_ADDRESS FOR UMS_SITA_ADDRESS
Granting Privileges
PROMPT SITA_ADDRESS_TY...
GRANT EXECUTE ON SITA_ADDRESS_TY TO COPY
PROMPT SITA_ADDRESSS_NT...
GRANT EXECUTE ON SITA_ADDRESSES_NT TO COPY
PROMPT UMS_SITA_ADDRESS...
GRANT ALL ON UMS_SITA_ADDRESS TO COPY
When I connect to copy and desc UMS_SITA_ADDRESS, the structure
is
SQL> desc ums_sita_address
Name Null? Type
COMPANY_CODE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6)
AIRLINE_CODE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6)
DESTINATION NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6)
SITA_ADDRESS
OWNR.SITA_ADDRESSES_NT
Why is it so??. Even though I have a synonym for
SITA_ADDRESSES_NT, it is not referencing the synonym but instead
refer the OWNR.SITA_ADDRESSES_NT
Because of this when I try to insert into ums_sita_address(in
schema COPY), it is giving the following error,
SQL> insert into ums_sita_address values
('EK','EK','DXB',SITA_ADDRESSES_NT());
insert into ums_sita_address values
('EK','EK','DXB',SITA_ADDRESSES_NT())
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes
But when the same connect to OWNR and try to insert with the
same stmt, it is inserting...
Our middle tier can connect only to COPY schema alone..Is there
anything to be done in the DBA side to achieve this??.
Please help from your valuabe experience...Or can you ask your
collegues if they have got a soln to this probs..We are stucked
with this...
Thanks
Priya

Hi
I am not sure but maybe you need to use this command:
SQL> insert into ums_sita_address values
('EK','EK','DXB',SITA_ADDRESSES_TY());
SITA_ADDRESSES_TY() instead SITA_ADDRESSES_NT
