I worked on an App using my personal workspace. Exported the same and later installed it on a Developer Team workspace.
Several of my pages are getting the ORA-00942: table or view does not exist while running, which doesn't make sense since the tables do exist (I tested this using the 'SQL Commands' option).
Funny thing is that the same code I'm using is actually applied on a different app within the same workspace and it runs perfectly.
Is this normal behavior? Might be due to workspace's configuration?
Thanks!
It could be a "permissions" issue:

Answer: There are several common operations that cause a ORA-00942
error:
Table owner name not specified when logged-in as a non-creator of the table.
ORA-00942 on table import (imp or impdp).
ORA-00942 on materialized view refresh.
...
This ORA-00942 error on insert is common when the user you are
signed-on as does not have permission to see the table!
Either make the table public and grant DML privileges:
connect myuser/mypass
create public synonym testtable for myuser.testtable
grant insert, select, update, delete on mytable to public;
Also, review the various replies to this thread. For example:

Because this post is the top one found on stackoverflow when searching
for "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist insert", I want to
mention another possible cause of this error (at least in Oracle 12c):
a table uses a sequence to set a default value and the user executing
the insert query does not have select privilege on the sequence. This
was my problem and it took me an unnecessarily long time to figure it
out.
First thing I would check is the parsing schema for the application - see Shared Components -> Security Attributes.
If this is not the same between the two instances of your application, that's the likely explanation.
I use SQL developer and i made a connection to my database with the system user, after I created a user and made a another connection with that user with all needed privileges.
But when I try to proceed following I get the SQL Error
ORA-00942 table or view does not exist.:
INSERT INTO customer (c_id,name,surname) VALUES ('1','Micheal','Jackson')
Because this post is the top one found on stackoverflow when searching for "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist insert", I want to mention another possible cause of this error (at least in Oracle 12c): a table uses a sequence to set a default value and the user executing the insert query does not have select privilege on the sequence. This was my problem and it took me an unnecessarily long time to figure it out.
To reproduce the problem, execute the following SQL as user1:
create sequence seq_customer_id;
create table customer (
c_id number(10) default seq_customer_id.nextval primary key,
name varchar(100) not null,
surname varchar(100) not null
);
grant select, insert, update, delete on customer to user2;
Then, execute this insert statement as user2:
insert into user1.customer (name,surname) values ('michael','jackson');
The result will be "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist" even though user2 does have insert and select privileges on user1.customer table and is correctly prefixing the table with the schema owner name. To avoid the problem, you must grant select privilege on the sequence:
grant select on seq_customer_id to user2;
Either the user doesn't have privileges needed to see the table, the table doesn't exist or you are running the query in the wrong schema
Does the table exist?
select owner,
object_name
from dba_objects
where object_name = any ('CUSTOMER','customer');
What privileges did you grant?
grant select, insert on customer to user;
Are you running the query against the owner from the first query?
Case sensitive Tables (table names created with double-quotes) can throw this same error as well. See this answer for more information.
Simply wrap the table in double quotes:
INSERT INTO "customer" (c_id,name,surname) VALUES ('1','Micheal','Jackson')
You cannot directly access the table with the name 'customer'. Either it should be 'user1.customer' or create a synonym 'customer' for user2 pointing to 'user1.customer'. hope this helps..
Here is an answer: http://www.dba-oracle.com/concepts/synonyms.htm
An Oracle synonym basically allows you to create a pointer to an object that exists somewhere else. You need Oracle synonyms because when you are logged into Oracle, it looks for all objects you are querying in your schema (account). If they are not there, it will give you an error telling you that they do not exist.
I am using Oracle Database and i had same problem. Eventually i found ORACLE DB is converting all the metadata (table/sp/view/trigger) in upper case.
And i was trying how i wrote table name (myTempTable) in sql whereas it expect how it store table name in databsae (MYTEMPTABLE). Also same applicable on column name.
It is quite common problem with developer whoever used sql and now jumped into ORACLE DB.
in my case when i used asp.net core app i had a mistake in my sql query. If your database contains many schemas, you have to write schema_name before table_name, like:
Select * from SCHEMA_NAME.TABLE_NAME...
i hope it will helpful.
When creating a connection to an Oracle database in icCube 'Select existing DB Tables' is returning an empty list of tables.
The connection is fine and I can query the schema creating SQL queries.
The user is used as the schema name, but Oracle uses upper case as default for the schema names. The connection uses the user that is case insensitive.
Just, change the name of your user to the upper case version : USER_1
I am new to Oracle and for practice I have created some tables (customer, drivers, payment, booking, location, area, job, job_history) in Oracle 11g and upon select * from cat statement I have found a strange table with other created tables named "BIN$c+eOnMB3RbKSEfg/rsxtAQ==$0".I don't know why this table is created.
I tried to remove this table through
drop table BIN$c+eOnMB3RbKSEfg/rsxtAQ==$0;
but it gives error:
drop table BIN$c+*eOnMB3RbKSEfg/rsxtAQ==$0
ERROR at line 1: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
what should I do to remove it?
What you see is a deleted table in the RECYCLEBIN
You may get the original name of the table with this query
SELECT original_name FROM RECYCLEBIN where OBJECT_NAME = 'BIN$c+eOnMB3RbKSEfg/rsxtAQ==$0';
Note that (with your parameter setting) if you DROP a table it is not completely removed, but moved in the recyclebin.
You may ommit this using the PURGE option.
DROP TABLE xxx PURGE;
To remove the table from the recyclebin you must qoute the name with double quotes (as this is not a valid name) and use the PURGE statement (not a DROP - which would trigger ORA-38301: can not perform DDL/DML over objects in Recycle Bin).
PURGE TABLE "BIN$c+eOnMB3RbKSEfg/rsxtAQ==$0"
Alternatively you may use the original_name obtained with the query above:
PURGE TABLE {your_original_name};
To clean up the recyclebin completely use this statement (with the propper table user)
PURGE RECYCLEBIN;
Ok this is what happend...
One of my colleges run a script that created some tables which included one table called "User" on an Oracle XE 10g. Now we are unable to drop that table, we get an ORA-00903 every time we run a:
DROP TABLE USER CASCADE CONSTRAINTS
The same happens when ever we try to run any alter query on it (that means renaming doesn't work)
Do someone know how to deal with this?
have you tried fully qualifying with quotes:
drop table "myschema"."user"
Randy is right suggesting quoted identifiers. Note however that quoted identifiers are case-sensitive.
First, query ALL_TABLES or USER_TABLES to find the case-sensitive name of that table, and use that name in a statement such as
DROP TABLE "User";
or
ALTER TABLE "User" RENAME TO TBL_USERS;
