ORA-01031: insufficient privileges when inserting via dblink - oracle

This works:
(connect to some_db)
INSERT INTO some_schema.some_table(id) VALUES (some_schema.some_table.nextval);
THis works too:
(connect to some_other_db)
SELECT some_schema.some_table.nextval#some_db FROM DUAL;
This does not work:
(connect to some_other_db)
INSERT INTO some_schema.some_table#some_db(id) VALUES (some_schema.some_table.nextval#some_db);
The error I get is ORA-01031: insufficient privileges ORA-02063: preceding line from SOME_DB. The insert privilege for some_schema.some_table is granted through a default role.
What could be the problem here?
Update: adding select right for the table made the remote query work.

If you insert in the local database the insert privilege is sufficient, if you insert into the remote database, you need select and the inset privilege as it will do a select during the parse phase.

ORA-01017: invalid username/password via dblink

I've some problem with procedure which select data via dblink
I can select source tables normally and procedure compiles successfully but when I run this procedure I receive error
create or replace procedure proc1 is
begin
execute immediate 'truncate table table1';
INSERT /*+ APPEND NOLOGGING PARALLEL */
INTO table1
SELECT smthng
FROM table1#dblink uo
LEFT JOIN table2#dblink uoc
ON uoc.id = uo.id
LEFT JOIN table3#dblink uos
ON uos.id = uoc.id;
COMMIT;
end;
SQL> execute proc1
begin proc1; end;
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
ORA-02063: предшествующий line из dblink
ORA-06512: на "proc1", line 8
ORA-06512: на line 1
Any explanations?
To give a solution on this question you need to know which version of Oracle database you are using, you need to explain us how the database link is being created. Is it a public link ? Is it anonymous ? What is the DOP (degree of parallelisme) specified on ALL tables used in your query. Who is executing the query ? Is it the same user that your are using via a remote database link ? Is this user having the same password as the one executing the query locally ?
I can make it even worse : do you use an ops$-account externally identified ? Or is this last one assigned a password ?
And last but NOT LEAST check via the auditing tables if the users that cannot logon to the remote database. Tell me is this the same user you are using with your local query ?

PL/SQL Impossible to select a table into a trigger

As system user, I created a new user and grant him dba privileges : GRANT dba TO user_bdda_adminProjet
I'm trying to look into the DBA_ROLE_PRIVS table into a trigger (I didn't paste all my code, feel free to tell me if it's necessary) :
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER my_trigger
INSTEAD OF
INSERT ON vueEnquete
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
tmp int;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO tmp FROM DBA_ROLE_PRIVS;
...
...
END;
/
But when I try to execute this script, I got the following errors :
Erreur(6,3): PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
Erreur(6,39): PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Looking at different forums, I found that the problem is in general that the user don't have rights to the table.
But when I execute, as my user user_bdda_adminProjet the following line alone (out of a trigger), it works perfectly
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM DBA_ROLE_PRIVS;
Moreover, if I just comment the line in my trigger, it executes without any errors, so I guess the error is specifically at this line.
Thanks in advance for your help and feel free to tell me if you need any further info.
dba is a role, not a privilege.
Privileges obtained through a role are not "active" in PL/SQL. You need to grant the select privilege on the DBA_ROLE_PRIVS directly to the user.

ORA-00980 synonym translation no longer valid in PLSQL

I've got a synonym on a remote Oracle database that I can access in SQL over a database link, eg,
insert into my_table select * from my_synonym#my_database_link;
If I put the above statement into a PLSQL block, it won't compile, giving the error message "ORA-00980: synonym translation is no longer valid". The standard explanation is the table that the synonym points to has been dropped, etc, but this is not the case because the statement works in SQL.
If something works in SQL but not in PL/SQL then in most cases this is a problem with privileges.
Any privilege that a user received through a role is not active when you enter a PL/SQL block. So most probably the SELECT privilege on the underlying table was granted through a role and thus is not "active" in the PL/SQL block.
The usual cure for this is to grant the privileges directly to the user, not through a role.
Thank you to everyone who tried to help. This turned out to be an Oracle limitation:

SYMPTOMS
A PL/SQL block fails with error: ORA-00980: synonym translation is no
longer valid, when selecting data from a remote database. The
following code demonstrates this issue:
On DB3 (create the table)
CONNECT u3/u3 DROP TABLE tab; CREATE TABLE tab(c1 number); INSERT
INTO tab VALUES (1); COMMIT;
On DB2 (create a synonym to the table on DB3)
CONNECT u2/u2 DROP DATABASE LINK dblink2; CREATE DATABASE LINK
dblink2 CONNECT TO u3 IDENTIFIED BY u3 USING 'EMT102U6'; SELECT *
FROM global_name#dblink2; DROP SYNONYM syn2; CREATE SYNONYM syn2
FOR tab#dblink2; SELECT * FROM syn2;
On DB1 (create a synonym to the synonym on DB2)
CONNECT u1/u1 DROP DATABASE LINK dblink1; CREATE DATABASE LINK
dblink1 CONNECT TO u2 IDENTIFIED BY u2 USING 'EMT102W6'; SELECT *
FROM global_name#dblink1; DROP SYNONYM syn1; CREATE SYNONYM syn1
FOR syn2#dblink1; SELECT c1 from syn1;
This works in SQL but fails when called from PL/SQL
DECLARE num NUMBER; BEGIN SELECT c1 INTO num FROM syn1; END;
/
ERROR at line 4: ORA-06550: line 4, column 3: PL/SQL: ORA-00980:
synonym translation is no longer valid ORA-06550: line 4, column 3:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
CAUSE
This issue was reported in Bug 2829591 QUERING FROM A PL/SQL
PROCEDURE IN 9I -> 8I-> 7.3.4, GETTING ORA-980. This bug was closed
as 'NOT A BUG' for the following reasons
PL/SQL cannot instruct middle database (DB2) to follow the database
link during the compilation phase. Therefore in order for this PL/SQL
block to compile and run, both database links dblink1 and dblink2
should be defined on the front end database - DB1. During runtime
database link dblink2 will be looked up in DB2 as expected.
SOLUTION
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
Create a database link dblink2 on DB1 pointing to DB3
SQL> create database link dblink2 connect to u3 identified by u3 using
'EMT102U6';
Create and compile the PL/SQL block on DB1.
CREATE DATABASE LINK dblink2 CONNECT TO u3 IDENTIFIED BY u3 USING
'EMT102U6';
SELECT * FROM global_name#dblink2; DECLARE num NUMBER; BEGIN
SELECT c1 INTO num FROM syn1; END; / PL/SQL procedure successfully
completed.
TIP: Another option is to use dyanmic SQL in the PL/SQL block as a
work around. When using dynamic SQL the database link is not resolved
at compile time but at runtime.
Workaround solution is to use an Oracle view instead.
CREATE VIEW v_my_synomym as (select * from my_synonym#my_database_link);
Then reference the view in your package or procedure i.e.:
insert into my_table select * from v_my_synonym;
Check in remote database grants for "my_synonym" must be almost "select" for the user you use in connect string, check also the object which this synonym points at (maybe someone deleted the table).
I found this issue when owner of the table/view/procedure are not match with owner mentioned in SYNONYM.
Example : If owner of table TABLE_BRACH is ownerA and in Synonym mentioned table owner is something else (Not ownerA).
Solution:
1. Drop the SYNONYM
2. Create that with same name with correct owner.
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM BRANCH FOR ownerA.TABLE_BRACH ;

oracle table entry does not exist

while installing sap on 3 tiered architecture, I need to install database instance (oracle) and central instance(sap) and two different machines.
after completing database install and proceeding with central instance installation, the setup is trying to access a table and fails with following error
SELECT USERID, PASSWD FROM
SAPUSER WHERE USERID IN (:A0, :A1)
OCI-call failed with
-1=OCI_ERROR SQL error 942: 'ORA-00942: table or view does not exist'
*** ERROR => ORA-942 when
accessing table SAPUSER
so I checked and found out that two cases are possible
Table does not exist or
User has no access rights to this Table
next I checked for table, and found an entry in dba_tables,
SQL> select owner from dba_tables where table_name='SAPUSER';
OWNER
------------------------------
OPS$E64ADM
but when trying to fetch data from it using select query
SQL> select * from SAPUSER;
select * from SAPUSER
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
now I am confused, whether the table is available or not. what is the reason for this and how can it be resolved?
It depends on where you are accesing the object from,
check to see which user you are logged in as
SQL> SHOW USER
This will show which user you are logged in as,
if you are in OPS$E64ADM, the directly query using
SQL> select * from SAPUSER;
if show user show anyother user you need privilege to access it from other users, can ask dba or if you have access then run,
SQL> grant select on OPS$E64ADM.SAPUSER to username; -- the username from which you want to access the table;
then, you can acces from the other user , using,
SQL> select * from OPS$E64ADM.SAPUSER
who are you signed in as? unless it's the owner of the table you will need to change your code to include the owner ie.
select * from OPS$E64ADM.SAPUSER

Oracle XE 10g : Job Scheduling w/in a package or procedure : DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS

I have a package that compiles fine in another 11g environment.
When I try to compile it in my XE 10g environment w/ a DBA User, I get the ORA-00942 error.
FOR r IN (SELECT DISTINCT job_name jname
FROM dba_scheduler_jobs
^
WHERE job_name LIKE p_job_prefix || '%')
LOOP
...
When I execute a direct select on the table there is no issue.
Select * from dba_scheduler_jobs;
Error Text:
Line: 34 Column: 34 Error: PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
In order to reference an object in a definer's rights stored procedure (the default), the owner of the procedure has to have direct access to the object. The privilege cannot be granted through a role, even a very powerful role like SYSDBA.
You probably want to grant the owner of this procedure the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privilege
GRANT select any dictionary
TO <<owner of procedure>>
You could also grant the privileges on each object (i.e. DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS) individually but if you've already granted this user the SYSDBA privilege, you're probably not overly concerned with restricting grants.
