    problem with grant on users

    hi,
    I run this query:

    grant alter, select, insert, update on tab1 to 00855000;

    but I get this error:
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00987: missing or invalid username(s)

    The user 00855000 exist!

    What I wrong?
    Thanks
    Raf

    what is '00855000'
    you can grant these privlages to a user so use the actual username in place of this no.

    User names that begin with a digit have to be enclosed in double-quotes ...
    Code:
    grant alter, select, insert, update on tab1 to "00855000";
    Personally, i think it's a bad idea to have these names.

    I agree, it is a bad idea to have names like this. You may have a problem if you are planning to use dynamic sql in PL/SQL and manipulate with those username and PL/SQL

    My job would be easy if I didn't have to deal with users, hardware, or software...

    That would leave you with nothing to do other than "interface" with management. I think you need to exclude them also. Maybe they should be first on the list.

    Try this:

    grant alter, select, insert, update on tab1 to "00855000";
