    hi !

    the select command works but if I try the desc command on the same object it does not work.

    Does any body know the reason why?

    Thank you in advance,

    chris

    Desc table

    Do you own the object you are trying to run desc on?

    In which utility are you using the desc command. This command is specific of SQL*Plus.

    Regards

    I´m using "golden view" but I think that is not the problem... because it is working on the other data bases...

    Is there a special role allowing to read such information?

    What version of Oracle are you running (and which platform). We recently hit a simialr problem on 8.1.7 on AIX - it turned out to be a bug. Do you get an Oracle error no?

    Are you trying to describe a table across a database link? There have been problems with this as well.

    I use Oracle 8.1.7 - so it is a bug?

    The error is "table or view does not exist".
