Dear Sir/Madam,

End user says that they are able to connect a schema thro oracle sql developer tool, but when they click on Tables, ( i.e when they expand (+) button ), they are not able to see the tables... and they are not able to see any inidexes/proc/function...etc. But i am able to see in my machine...

what would be the reason ?

please guide me.

have attached screen shot taken from my machine..

If they connect to the database using their own credentials (which are different from yours), it might possible that they don't own any objects but are allowed to use them by the mean of (public?) synonyms. If that's not the case, someone else might have another idea. Anyway, it would be nice if you could provide some more details (how exactly you and they connect, to which schema, who owns those objects, ...).

I've seen this the other day and was at a loss.

Person behind me couldn't expand the sql developer tables (was as if none existed) and I could - same user/pass/DB combination, same SQL Developer version and a restart didnt help it. No filters were applied either.

We can both query tables, just I can see them and they couldnt. Shift+F4 over the name still brought the definition up though.

It was very odd indeed.

Not at all, in your case. If tables = roaches, then it is understandable that roaches behave themselves in front of their coach. Your colleague wasn't coach, so they hid. Can't explain it in @kesavansundaram's case, though.

hi aLL,

As a DBA, Iam connecting sql developoer as SYS and then expanding tables under the SCHEMA ( IDENTITY ) .

but user connecing as IDENTITY/<pwd> directly.
user is able to query the data ( i.e SELECT ) ,but not able to see the list of tables in left side panel. i checked the owner for all tables presented under scehma: IDENITY. it is IDENTITY only.

Like I said, were using the same generic user account, it's not a user/schema mix up Wink

My connection was userA/passB@sidC, their connection was userA/passB@sidC.


Edit:

More detail.

Both of us were looking at the other users section, both of us could query the tables directly (no synonyms/views in play), just I could see them in the GUI tree on the left hand side and the other person could not.

It's like two people connecting as scott/tiger but the GUI only showing the tables to one, but allowing both to query.

Case in OP is different users (though still seems odd), but we were the same damned account!
