Did the owner of schema2 grant you or your link the ability to select from his table?

If you have access to the net, you can get docs in hand, whether through ftp or http://docs.oracle.com .

http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96521/privs.htm#15362 http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96524/c16sqlpl.htm#494

Saying you don't have time to read the documentation is flamebait. You might try asking your paid support, although support people often don't like being substitutes for training.
