Re: Accessing other users' tables

Hi Erik,
Simply create public synonyms for those tables as user with DBA authority (usually sys or system).
The syntax is

create public synonym table_name for sa.table_name;

of course you also will need to grant select privileges to either specific oracle users or the dummy user public. In terms of security probably not the best solution.

Hth,
