Subject: select_catalog_role does not let me see data dictionary

II am on Oracle 10.2 on HP UNIX 11i. My id has been assigned select_catalog_role, yet I ger error when doing Select * from dba_users
Select * from dba_tablespaces

I can access some v$ views but not all; e.g., I could not access v $session. Is there some other privilege required in addition to select_catalog_role to see data dictionary.

Thanks. Received on Tue Jun 22 2010 - 14:19:52 CDT
