I have two oracle users : User1 and User2.
I'm trying to create a foreign key constraint between the two tables as follows:
ALTER TABLE "User2"."TESTTABLE" ADD CONSTRAINT "TESTTABLE_CREATEDBY"
FOREIGN KEY (CREATEDBY) REFERENCES "User1"."USERS_" (ID) ENABLE
User2 has the privilege to select on User1 table Users_ (Grant select to user2 on Users_
).
When running the alter table statement I have an error of insufficient privileges.
How can I solve that?
To create a foreign key against a table in another schema we need to have the REFERENCES privilege on that table. This is a separate privilege because it imposes a burden on the table's owner: they can't delete records from their table if you're referencing them. Find out more
