RE: Weird ODBC Issue

On one instance, APPS owns the tables and SCOTT has select and has a synonym pointing at the table.
On the other instance, SCOTT owns the table and there's no primary key defined.
Just to be irritating, the latter instance shows the table, the former does not.

The user needs to have select permissions on the table. I'm assuming they are using the file,get external data, link tables and choosing ODBC data sources method to get to the data. Does the user APPS/APPS own the tables? Are there public synonyms on the tables? What ODBC driver are you using? I feel the Merant drivers are the best. From my experience any user trying to access the data this way was able to see all users.tablenames in the system but did not have authority to access them. Access needs to define unique keys to identify each record so it can update it. When attaching a table and there is no PK access will ask you to pick a number of columns that will make the record unique. Hope this helps.
