Hi guys

When i do the following statement in my editor it works,

select count(*) from dba_role_privs;

but when i put this select statement into my function i get an compilation error "table or view not found".. how can that be?

code of the function:
create or replace function get_student
(p_schema in varchar2, p_tab in varchar2) return varchar2 as
e_ret varchar2(2000);
counter number;
begin
  select count(*) into counter from dba_role_privs;
end;
/

6/24 PL/SQL: ORA-00942: Tabelle oder View nicht vorhanden

the user has the role DBA,

Check your privs again.
You need to grant
select any dictionary

to the dba user.
Also please post how you are calling the function.

I was not sure about your processing logic/in parameters.
So just removed it.
  1  create or replace function get_student
  2  return number as
  3  counter number;
  4  begin
  5    select count(*) into counter from dba_role_privs;
  6    return counter;
  7*   end;

Function created.

scott@chum > select get_student from dual;

GET_STUDENT
-----------
	151

scott@chum > select count(*) from dba_role_privs;

  COUNT(*)
----------
       151

Thank you, that was the missing link!
