I thought this might be a materialized view, but I would expect to see an undefined object type. Ian MacGregor -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 8:21 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Are you sure the public synonym isn't pointing to an object in some other database thru a link? >>> Michael.Ray@trw.com 05/03/01 04:55PM >>> Why do I keep getting this error even though this object is not a view??? I am in as the owner of the table, which has the DBA role to boot.

I had already tried "insert into FARS_OWNER.MFGALIASTYPE ..." as well, but didn't include that here. Here's the table definition: CREATE TABLE "FARS_OWNER"."MFGALIASTYPE" ("VALUE" VARCHAR2(2), "ISDEFAULT" VARCHAR2(1), "ATTRIBUTE" VARCHAR2(45), "PROMPTNAME" VARCHAR2(45) NOT NULL ENABLE, "SORTORDER" NUMBER(2, 0)) PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 LOGGING TABLESPACE "TBL_TINY" ; ALTER TABLE "FARS_OWNER"."MFGALIASTYPE" ADD CONSTRAINT "MFGALIASTYPE_VALUE_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("PROMPTNAME") USING INDEX PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255 TABLESPACE "USER_DATA" ENABLE NOVALIDATE ; This is using 8.1.5 EE on NT 4 SP6a.
