I do not have apps schema credentials but need DDL of a view which has been created in APPS schema. The schema that I logged on currently has SYNONYM of the view.

I have tried get_ddl and ALL_VIEWS but no luck.

DBA_VIEWS and USER_VIEWS are not accessible.

If you have no access to the view you have no access to its DDL (unless you have access to Oracle catalog or dictionary).

If you need access ask someone who can grant you access to do so, instead of trying to hack your way round your lack of access.

If you can use EXPLAIN PLAN (which does itself require some privileges) on a query against the view you may be able to reverse engineer it.

Only if it's very simple and doesn't in turn call other views, otherwise you've got no chance.

The correct solution to access problems is pretty much always to either get the access granted or get someone with access to give you the information you need.
If you're trying to work round that it just begs question of why.

Thanks for your response. I am not trying to access something which I should not. I have been given a schema where I have synonym of apps view. If I use 'Find DB Object' I am able to see the select statement behind the view script but not the actual DDL.

If you can see the select what do you need the actual DDL for?

I need to copy actual view script and create view in a different database. But here I am able to see only select statement and not the actual "CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW...." script.

So get someone who's got access to give you the script.

if you have the select behind the view, you have the ddl already. For example if my select is

select owner,table_name
from all_tables;

then the DDL will simply be

create or replace my_view as
select owner,table_name
from all_tables;

A view is just a stored query.

In a lot cases yes, but just look at the doc page to see all the things you can add to create view statement past the actual select statement.

And it is done for a reason. I can let you drive my car but it doesn't mean you can dig through my glove compartment or look under the hood. Anyway, you need DEBUG privilege to see the code.
