Question
Sounds pretty easy query the column names from a table, right? Indeed there is a answer to this question How can I get column names from a table in Oracle?
The main issue is that the table belongs to another user. My user is just for integration and I don't have any database privileges.
So I'm able to do some query like: SELECT * FROM anotherUser.THE_TABLE;
But something like SELECT * FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS
return no rows.
Perhaps I can create queries over all_tab_columns, Are there another faster options without procedures?
*It´s a oracle database!
Solution
SELECT *
FROM ALL_TAB_COLUMNS
WHERE OWNER='ANOTHERUSER'
AND TABLE_NAME='THE_TABLE';
Should get you there if you have privileges on the table.
