Oracle 11g – Why Can’t an Owner Create a View?

oracleoracle-11g

There is a user as HRS. I am creating a view in HRS as 

CREATE VIEW HRS.RNS.....

I am getting

ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Edit

As i remember, i only execute following commands for the user and then my user can create tables

GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO THE_USER;
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO THE_USER;
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO THE_USER;

How does my user automatically get rights to create table but not view?

Best Answer

You can create tables because the RESOURCE role has the CREATE TABLE privilege granted. To create a view, you need to have granted the CREATE VIEW privilege additionally, because, by default that privilege is not granted, not even to RESOURCE.

SQL> select privilege from dba_sys_privs where grantee='RESOURCE';

PRIVILEGE
----------------------------------------
CREATE TRIGGER
CREATE SEQUENCE
CREATE TYPE
CREATE PROCEDURE
CREATE CLUSTER
CREATE OPERATOR
CREATE INDEXTYPE
CREATE TABLE

So you need to do the below:

grant create view to hrs;
