I have one schema argus_app where there is a table cfg_enterprise. There is a view v$cfg_enterprisewhich selects data from cfg_enterprise and there is apublic synonym cfg_enterprise for v$cfg_enterprise.

When I login to argus_app and select from cfg_enterprise there is no data where as i log in to sys and select I can see data.

SQL> conn /as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> select enterprise_name from cfg_enterprise;

ENTERPRISE_NAME
------------------------------------------------------------
TAKE

SQL> conn argus_app/argus_app
Connected.
SQL> select enterprise_name from cfg_enterprise;

no rows selected

SQL> conn /as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> select object_name,object_type,owner from dba_objects where object_name='CFG_ENTERPRISE';

OBJECT_NAME          OBJECT_TYPE         OWNER
--------------   ------------------ ---------------

CFG_ENTERPRISE       SYNONYM             PUBLIC

CFG_ENTERPRISE       TABLE               ARGUS_APP


SQL> select * from dba_synonyms where synonym_name='CFG_ENTERPRISE';

OWNER        SYNONYM_NAME     TABLE_OWNER      TABLE_NAME           DB_LINK
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
PUBLIC     CFG_ENTERPRISE      ARGUS_APP     V$CFG_ENTERPRISE



Can some one point out what would be creating this problem.

Thanks
Ridhi

You do not query the same table/view: one query V$CFG_ENTERPRISE and the other one CFG_ENTERPRISE.
We have not the definition of the view so can't say more.

I have already mentioned v$cfg_enterprise is a view which selects data from cfg_enterprise

Defination for the view:

CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "ARGUS_APP"."V$CFG_ENTERPRISE"
(
   "ENTERPRISE_NAME",
   "ENTERPRISE_ABBRV",
   "ACTIVE",
   "PREFIX",
   "FIRST_NAME",
   "MIDDLE_NAME",
   "LAST_NAME",
   "DEPARTMENT",
   "ADDRESS",
   "CITY",
   "STATE",
   "POSTAL_CODE",
   "COUNTRY",
   "EMAIL",
   "PHONE",
   "ALT_PHONE",
   "FAX",
   "NOTES",
   "BASE_ENTERPRISE_ID",
   "DELETED",
   "ENTERPRISE_ID"
)
AS
   SELECT "ENTERPRISE_NAME",
          "ENTERPRISE_ABBRV",
          "ACTIVE",
          "PREFIX",
          "FIRST_NAME",
          "MIDDLE_NAME",
          "LAST_NAME",
          "DEPARTMENT",
          "ADDRESS",
          "CITY",
          "STATE",
          "POSTAL_CODE",
          "COUNTRY",
          "EMAIL",
          "PHONE",
          "ALT_PHONE",
          "FAX",
          "NOTES",
          "BASE_ENTERPRISE_ID",
          "DELETED",
          "ENTERPRISE_ID"
     FROM ARGUS_APP.CFG_ENTERPRISE
    WHERE ACTIVE = 1 AND DELETED IS NULL;


[EDITED by LF: formatted code]

SYS selected data from a public synonym (created for a view (which contains a WHERE condition, so it can be expected that view "contains" less data than a table) based on a table owned by ARGUS_APP).

ARGUS_APP - when running "SELECT * FROM CFG_ENTERPRISE" - selects data from a table (not a public synonym, as a table and a public synonym have the same name). It should return the whole table contents.

Now: if the owner doesn't see anything in a table and SYS sees *something* in a synonym created for a view based on a table ... hm, strange. If it was vice versa, I'd say that view's WHERE conditions prevents data to be seen. But the way it is now, no idea.

Is it any role or grant triggering this issue?

Yes, but can we trust you as you don't know where does come the problem?
Many times people THINKS it is in a way when it is not.
Anyway, when we ask for something do not think, provide.

Maybe some VPD policy.
