Oracle - Trigger on table that updates different table - permission problem - oracle

I have a weird problem. I am trying to write a TRIGGER that whenever DEPTNO in table SCOTT.DEPT is updated, then it updates my other Table ( SCOTT.EMP ) with a new DEPTNO.
I got a ORA-01031: insufficient privileges error, which is weird, because I'm logged in as system, I've made this table myself (create .. ) and my other trigger that I wrote is working properly.
Btw. Is this trigger written correctly?
Any help would be appreciated.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER Trigger1
BEFORE DELETE OR INSERT OR UPDATE OF DEPTNO ON SCOTT.DEPT
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
UPDATE SCOTT.EMP
SET DEPTNO = :NEW.DEPTNO;
END;

I am logged as System"
You need to be careful with that. SYSTEM is an Oracle owned account, used for maintaining the database, so there are risks to changing its schema.
In this case you have created the trigger in the SYSTEM schema because you didn't prefix the trigger name with anything. Normally triggers are owned by the schema which owns the underlying table, in this case SCOTT.
I suggest you drop the trigger from the SYSTEM schema and re-create it in SCOTT.

DB Insertion Issue on Materialized View in PSQL

I have been working on creating the trigger for one materialized view like this in PSQL using supruser:
returns trigger language plpgsql
as $$
begin
refresh materialized view mat_view;
return null;
end $$;
create trigger refresh_mat_view
after insert or update or delete or truncate
on table1 for each statement
execute procedure refresh_mat_view();
create trigger refresh_mat_view
after insert or update or delete or truncate
on table2 for each statement
execute procedure refresh_mat_view();
After set up the trigger, when others tried to insert records in table1, it showed failed to insert and must be the owner of the mat_view. Is there any way that I can get around this for creating the trigger and also allow others to insert?

Issue can be solved here by creating a group of role to be act as an owner or using a cron job

ORA-00942: Table or View not exist connecting with another user

in Oracle SQL developer I got error ORA-00942: Table or View not exist connecting with another user when I do the following:
CREATE USER marta IDENTIFIED BY 'marta';
GRANT SELECT, INSERT ON myTable TO marta;
so then, executing:
CONNECT marta/marta;
INSERT INTO myTable VALUES ('1', 'foo', bar');
got the ORA-00942...
Obviusly, If I use system user I can insert row with no issues.
I searched other answers but I couldnt solve this... what is wrong
Obviusly, If I use system user I can insert row with no issues.
Uh-oh. There's nothing obvious about that. The SYSTEM user should not own a table called MY_TABLE (or whatever application table that is actually named). The SYSTEM user is part of the Oracle database, its schema is governed by Oracle and using it for our own application objects is really bad practice.
But it seems you have created a table in that schema and user MARTA can't see it. That's standard. By default users can only see their own objects. They can only see objects in other schemas if the object's owner (or a power user) grants privileges on that object to the other user.
So, as SYSTEM
grant select on my_table to marta;
Then, as MARTA
select * from system.my_table;
To avoid prefixing the owning schema MARTA can create a synonym:
create or replace synonym my_table for system.my_table;
select * from my_table;
But really, you need to stop using SYSTEM for your own tables.

Does dropping a table drop its dependent trigger? [duplicate]

I have one table backup on which I had applied one trigger upd_trig. Now, I dropped my table and then I checked, whether all the associated trigger/index will also been dropped or will remain there.
As I found some discussion here,and they said Trigger/Index all will be dropped,once we drop our table. But, it seems, trigger still exist. Can anyone explain, what exactly happens, when we drop the table
SQL> drop table backup;
Table dropped.
SQL> select text from user_source;
TEXT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRIGGER
"BIN$Dg5j/bf6Rq6ugyN5ELwQkw==$0" BEFORE UPDATE ON backup FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT INTO BACKUP VALUES(USER,:OLD.ENAME,SYSDATE);
END;
9 rows selected.
SQL> select count(*) from user_triggers;
COUNT(*)
----------
1
SQL> select trigger_name from user_triggers;
TRIGGER_NAME
------------------------------
BIN$Dg5j/bf6Rq6ugyN5ELwQkw==$0
The table has been dropped, but it is in the recycle bin, from which it can be recovered using the flashback commands (flashback ... before drop]. The name showing as BIN$... is a bit of a giveaway. The trigger is also showing with a BIN$... name, indicating that it is in the recycle bin too, and any indexes will be too.
You can empty the recycle bin to permenantly remove the objects in it. To drop a table immediately, without it going to the recycle bin, you can add the keyword purge to the drop command, as explained in the documentation. That will also drop any indexes and triggers immediately.
If it wasn't dropped automatically, then the trigger would be irrelevent anyway, since you couldn't perform any DML on the dropped table, so it could never fire. That's if the table the trigger is against is dropped. Your trigger is weird, it's inserting into the same table. Normally you'd have a trigger on one table insert into your backup table (well, for one use of triggers). In that case, dropping the backup table would invalidate the trigger on the live table, but would not drop it. Only dropping the live table would drop the trigger on the live table.

Oracle Create Table without Insert permission

Is it possible in oracle dbms for a user to have the permission to create a table but not have the permission to insert in it although the same user just created it?
Thank you in advance!
Short answer:
No, it's not.
Longer answer:
You can do pretty much anything you want. If you want to restrict insert access the usual method would be to create the table in a different schema. Assuming you have a table emp in the schema hr, which you wanted to access from the schema 'users`:
You would grant users permission to SELECT from the table emp when connected as hr:
grant select on emp to users
or, if you also want users to be able to UPDATE emp:
grant select, update on emp to users
Lastly, when connected as users, you prefix the table name with the schema it is located in:
select * from hr.emps
You can now select from the table but not insert into it.

ORACLE PL/SQL - SCHEDULE CREATE TABLE

I need to create a table every morning based on overnight generated data from a massive table. This will then be accessed by a handful of users form Excel.
My initial approach was to use a materilazed view and when this was rejected (for political reasons) to used Managed XLL but this was rejected for other reasons. I don't want to get messed up with Temporary tables and so really just need to know how to schedule an Oracle Create Table statement as our DBA says it can't be done.
My faith in SO users sasy otherwise though!
I don't see why you have to create a new table every morning and not use an existing one?
This creates your table from PL/SQL. Is this what you want?
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE make_table AS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE your_table ( column_1 INT PRIMARY KEY, column_2 VARCHAR2(10) )';
END make_table;
/
EXEC make_table;
Your user needs to have the necessary grants, grants given by role don't apply to compiled PL/SQL code.
