I have two schemas, let's call them BOB and FRED. I need to call a table in schema FRED from schema BOB to use the primary key in that table as a foreign key. I've set up the appropriate grants for schema FRED to allow BOB access to it, but whenever I run the script, it complains that I do not have the correct permissions. Is there another setting that I need to change somewhere? Can this even be done?
My FK creation is as follows:
ALTER TABLE "BOB"."ITEMGROUP" WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT FK_ITEMS_ITEM FOREIGN KEY (ItemID)REFERENCES "FRED"."ITEMS"(ItemID)And I'm doing the grant with:
GRANT ALTER ON "FRED"."ITEMS" TO "BOB"I get this error message:
SQL Error: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges 01031. 00000 - "insufficient privileges"*Cause: An attempt was made to change the current username or password without the appropriate privilege. This error also occurs if attempting to install a database without the necessary operating system privileges. When Trusted Oracle is configure in DBMS MAC, this error may occur if the user was granted the necessary privilege at a higher label than the current login.*Action: Ask the database administrator to perform the operation or grant the required privileges. For Trusted Oracle users getting this error although granted the the appropriate privilege at a higher label, ask the database administrator to regrant the privilege at the appropriate label.
