ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

Can anyone answer the actual question? Here it is...

Is the following "E" level message something separate, or is it associated with the "W" warning?

All the rest of the stuff is background... this is NOT a question about the Oracle long-running transaction problem, it is a question about an "E" level message appearing that may or may not be related to the warning.

The reason it is important is this: folks tend to worry about "E" level messages, and a shop that does not care about the Oracle long-running transaction problem needs to know if this "E" level message can be ignored along with the "W" warning.

Thanks!

I "think" I remember there is an error in the documentation. The line of code below is what I have cataloged as the proper statement. Notice the underscore, which does not appear in the docs.

GRANT SELECT ON SYS.GV_$TRANSACTION TO user_name;

I say "think" because our wonderful, extremely smart Oracle DBA would often "correct" my mistakes without telling me. But I believe the underscore makes the difference between the base table and a view, and the one with the underscore is what we needed.

You're correct. Permission has to be granted on GV_$TRANSACTION to access GV$TRANSACTION. The documentation has been updated for the next release.

More of a wild guess, but do both errors/warnings disappear when you follow the requirements to grant the needed permissions, e.g. on gv_$transaction, as described in the docs?

I may never know, since most Oracle sites won't do that. What I want to know, is the "E" message just part of the same warning, or is it a real error message?

@Breck: Sorry, that's something I cannot clarify - because I'm lacking both ML/Oracle knowledge and an Oracle DB (and don't miss that)...

We are almost positive that the two messages are for the same problem. They could tell for certain by adding 'e' to the verbosity switch, eg. -vcenrs. Note that without assigning that permission, some changes on the consolidated might never be downloaded!

(05 Nov '10, 16:05) Graham Hurst

Also, if any Oracle sites are leery of granting permission to that view, they can see the SQL that accesses it with -ve vebosity. All it's doing is getting the earliest start time of open transactions. For more info, see this old document: http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1034585
