Hi all, I have a package created by user1, created a public synonym on the package, granted execute on this public synonym to a user_role. What the package does is: Creates a user (test_user) dynamically, also ties him with a profile and also grants the test_user the role above (user_role). Problem: I can't execute this package when I connect as this new test_user from oracle webapplication server. But I am able to execute this same package as this test_user in sqlplus session. I have no idea what is the difference and why this user is not able to execute it when logging in from application server. We have Oracle 8.1.6. Appreciate any pointers, our senior DBA's here are also not able to figure it out. So, please help. Thanks Radhika. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Manasa Rao INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
