SQL*Loader-929: Error parsing insert statement for table

Question

Hi,
I get the following error with SQL*Loader:
Table MYTABLE loaded from every logical record.
Insert option in effect for this table: INSERT
Column Name Position Len Term Encl Datatype
IDE FIRST * ; CHARACTER
SQL string for column : "mysequence.NEXTVAL"
CSI_NBR 1:10 10 ; CHARACTER
POLICY_NBR 11:22 12 ; CHARACTER
CURRENCY_COD 23:25 3 ; CHARACTER
POLICY_STAT 26:27 2 ; CHARACTER
PRODUCT_COD 28:35 8 ; CHARACTER
END_DAT 44:53 10 ; CHARACTER
FISCAL_COD 83:83 1 ; CHARACTER
TOT_VAL 92:112 21 ; CHARACTER
SQL*Loader-929: Error parsing insert statement for table MYTABLE.
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
I am positive that I can SELECT the sequence and INSERT into the table with the user invoking sql*loader.
Where does that "ORA-01031" come from?

Answer 1

Options:
1) you are wrong about privileges OR
2) you have the privilege only when you connect via SQL*Plus (or whichever other tool you used to test the insert).
Is it possible that during your test you enabled the role which granted you the INSERT privilege - and that SQL*Loader doesn't do this?
Can you see the table in this list?
select *
from user_tab_privs_recd
where table_name='MY_TABLE'
and owner='table owner whoever';
select *
from user_role_privs;Any roles where DEFAULT_ROLE is not YES?
HTH
