Re: Different SELECT result when run from SQLPLUS and asSP

Hi.

 Your assumption is correct:
 When SQL statement is executed within stored proc/function it is  executed with the access rights of it's creator.  So in your case SP returns a number of columns from it's creator owned  tables.
 The solutions is :
  GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO <procedure_creator>.

 HTH. Michael.
